Jose Velasquez

In eastern Venezuela, parapara is the seed of the parapara tree (Sapindus saponaria). Its association with the shrapnel or marbles is due to the fact that, due to the circular shape of the seed, children used it to play, replacing the shrapnel. Rubbing it against the concrete floor made it very hot, so a colloquial saying from some regions of the East is "to jump more than stop in cement"
