这个故事来自巴西亚马孙一带的图皮人。1876年，巴西将军、学者库托·德·马加良斯（1837—1898）出版了《野蛮人》一书，书里用宁加图语原文记下了一批图皮传说，旁边配上葡萄牙语翻译。这一篇排在第一，原题叫《黑夜是怎么出现的》。

This story comes from the Tupi people of the Amazon region in Brazil. In 1876, the Brazilian general and scholar Couto de Magalhaes (1837–1898) published the book O Selvagem. In it he wrote down a group of Tupi legends in the original Nheengatu language, with Portuguese translations beside them. This one comes first, and its original title means How the Night Appeared.

宁加图语又叫「通用语」，是在古图皮语基础上形成的，几百年前在亚马孙河流域非常通行。直到今天，巴西内格罗河一带还有人说这种语言。故事里的图库玛，是亚马孙一带的一种棕榈树，树干上长满尖刺，橙色的果子当地人很爱吃。

Nheengatu, also called the general language, grew out of old Tupi and was widely used along the Amazon for hundreds of years. Even today, some people along the Rio Negro in Brazil still speak it. The tucuma in the story is a palm tree of the Amazon. Its trunk is covered with sharp spines, and local people love to eat its orange fruit.
