EL ARBOL DE LA LLUVIAThe peace of the bimbaches was interrupted by the interrupted frequency by the invasors and the foreigners. Erese, full of fear, alerted the others habitants and they reunited in the ta go for of Las Chamuscadas. The old man Tejegüete said that the winter had been dry and the summer, it would leave the ponds in the ravines without water. He said “if we manage the foreigners can't find water on the island and we manage to hide the Garoé tree, that drops water from it's leaves, the Foreigners will have to leave. The old man's proposal was accepted and they swore to not reveal the place where the sacred tree was. If anyone told the secret, they would die. The Garoé, through its abundant leaves, distilled so much water that it gave water to the inhabitants of the island. It was in Tigulahe. From the sea, every morning, the fog went up with the wind to the ravine where the tree was found. This way it condensed the humidity of the fog that later distilled by the leaves to a pool located at its foot. One evening,the young Agarfa was taking care of her cattle when suddenly, she saw a foreigner that approached her. The foreigner smiled. Agarfa felt attracted by the kindness of the foreigner named Gonzalo. From then on, they saw each other every day. Meanwhile the foreigners exhausted their water reserves, the ravines had dried and the little fountains on the island were about to. One day Gonzalo told Agarfa that very soon they would abandon the island because of the lack of water. Agarfa was very sad and decided to show Gonzalo where the Garoé tree was. The next day, Jacomar observed how the foreigners were going to the tree and he communicated the news to Erese who got angry. Someone betrayed them. Nisa accused Agarfa of her love for the enemy. Agarfa knew that she betrayed the trust of her village and that she had no forgiveness. She was thrown off the cliff by the Risco mountain. The captain Gonzalo Alvarear received the news and, full of pain, left the island. He could never drink water again without remembering about the beautiful Agarfa, who offered her life in exchange for his love. La légende de l'Arbre de pluie Sur l’île de El Hierro, la légende raconte que les Bimbaches possédaient un arbre appelé El Garoé qui distillait suffisamment d’eau pour donner à boire à toute l’île. Un jour, en période de sécheresse, un bateau d’étrangers arriva. Au conseil des Tagoror, il y eut une réunion pour décider quelle attitude adopter face aux envahisseurs. Ils décidèrent donc de ne pas les aider. Cependant, la jeune Agarfa vit un jour le jeune Gonzalo et en tomba amoureuse. Elle décida de lui parler du Garoé. Les habitants, se sentant trahis par la jeune femme, décidèrent de la sacrifier. En apprenant la nouvelle, la jeune espagnol essaya d’empêcher l’exécution mais arriva trop tard. Depuis, quand Gonzalo boit de l’eau, il ne peut s’empêcher de penser à elle.
