Stories and patakíes

Crocodile overcomes fear

Once Oggún and Oshosi were discussing which was the greatest enemy that could to have a man…

– The one who dares challenge me to take away my possessions, Oggún said.

– No brother, Oshosi answered him, the one who manages to snatch your freedom away, esclavizándote.

At that moment Obatalá approached, who had been listening to them discussing for a while.

– The worst enemy of a man, he told them, – is his own fear.

The day he realizes it, the Orishas begin to give him strength so that he can superarlo…

Like crocodile when he was going to become chief of the deep waters.

It happened like this: all the fish and the frogs scared crocodile, who to conquer his fear offered money, animals, cowries, coconuts and three iron teeth.

Elegba then said to him

– Open your mouth!

And he placed the iron teeth on him, ordering him:

– Lie down!

He then took the coconut husks, put them on his back and filled them with power.

The fish no longer managed to dominate crocodile, nor did the frogs.

No one could face him ever again.

Crocodile became king, son of the owner of the deep waters.

And who can take a child's house away from his father?.

The panther gallops across the field, the wild cat climbs the mountain.

Elegba us it helps to conquer the enemy, says the cowrie shell.

Ogundá does justice

Elegba asked Obatalá one day:

– When the drunk thinks one thing and the storekeeper another, how is it resolved the dispute?.

– In a court, the creator of men answered.- Each one gives his version of the facts and presents his evidence.

After that, the judge decides.

– Then, if someone breaks a plate, is there no chance that another will be the one who pay?, Elegba insisted.

– No, sooner or later he gets what he deserves or is acquitted for lack of evidence, baba answered him.

But it was not always like that.

Ogundá, the son of the king of oyo, changed things in the beginning of the world.

It happened like this:

Iroso was the king's firstborn.

Ogundá followed him.

If they claimed that someone had done something bad, the king ordered his head to be cut off.

He did not ask whether the person was really guilty.

Ogundá had been thinking about that for a long time until he could no longer take it and asked his brother:

– If a person has done nothing bad, should they execute them?.

And he realized that iroso was also worried about the king's behavior.

Once, iroso drank so much beer that he got drunk and fell asleep.

Ogundá killed his father's favorite ram, dragged it to the house of iroso, and stained his mouth with the animal's blood while he slept.

The next day, the ram's guardian could not find it and thus he informed him to the king.

– I want to see the head of whoever took the ram in the temple of Oggún!, The sovereign thundered.

And he offered a sacrifice to calm the gods.

Ogundá also made his offering.

They searched and searched for the animal until they found it in iroso's house.

The news ran like wildfire.

What did that mean?.

They took iroso to the temple of Oggún.

Everything was ready for his ejecución.

And iroso started to pray.

Ogundá took out his sword and cut off the head of the executioner who was going to execute iroso and the news flew.

Then he asked his the father went to the temple and there gathered the elders of the town.

The seven advisers of the king of oyo asked ogundá why he had acted that way.

– If someone says that a person has done something bad, it must be verified whether he really did it or not.

There are many innocents who have been punished with death, answered the king’s son.

– I was the one who killed the ram, confessed ogundá. – However, it was iroso who was going to be executed.

Whoever wants to kill me, must do it now.

I am the culpable.

And turning to his brother he said

– The injustices that we had seen and of which we talked so much made me take the ram to your house.

If they had killed you, they would have executed an innocent man.

I killed him and I am waiting for it to be carried out.

Sentence.

The king realized his mistake and they released iroso.

His accusers left.

Iroso did not die, nor did ogundá.

And from at that moment all the accused had a fair trial.

And the cowrie shell tells that from that day on, trials began in the world.
