Guzman once said that during the uprising he was in a cavalry detachment. And then one day it started to rain and the whole squad took refuge under the malanga leaves. A man from Sao Paulo heard this story and said: he knew a skilled mechanic who built such a huge boiler that when they climbed inside and stood against the wall, it was not audible if they hit the wall with a hammer from the opposite side.
Guzman did not believe it and asked why such a large cauldron was needed. And the man from Sao Paulo replied:
- To boil malanga leaves, under which your cavalry escaped the rain.
