His grandmother tells him about a lot of bad things in the forest, but the worst are the ghost. She tells him that there are ghost out there who are looking for a soul to take over to truly die. The ghost do not feel like their life is complete until they have ever thing they every wanted. Therefore to reinforce that idea Gato's grandmother tells him about how a ghost might have always wanted a tall 13 year old boy as its son. If a ghost wants a 13 year old boy and finds Gato his grandmother says that the ghost will take him and he will never be seen again.
Even after all of the stories and warnings from everyone Gato still goes into the jungle. When he goes into it he says that the jungle is beautiful with lots of frogs, hummingbirds, moths, and millipedes longer than his arm. There were lots of leaves and flowers on the hills with streams in between. I think he is going to find something new in the jungle, although I'm not sure if it will be good or bad.
