ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mãe-do-Ouro

Okay, so imagine there is a magical creature that lives in the forests of Brazil. It's called a "mãe-do-ouro", which means "mother-of-gold" in Portuguese. This creature is said to be very beautiful and shiny, almost like it's made of gold.

But here's the catch: if you ever see a mãe-do-ouro, you're not supposed to follow it or try to catch it. Why not? Well, some people believe that this creature is actually a trickster spirit. It might lead you into dangerous places or make you lose your way in the forest.

So, while a mãe-do-ouro might seem like a really cool thing to see, it's probably better to just admire it from a distance and let it go on its way. After all, you never know what kind of mischief it might be up to!
