Stories and patakíes

Iku's cloak

In this path there was a person who was well off to the extent that everyone envied him, he had very good clothes for his use.

Where Ikú did nothing but look at the cloak that said person was wearing.

One night Ikú came, knocked on the door, asking his wife about the person, making himself known.

Where the wife answered that the man was sleeping and she did not want to wake him.

The man, hearing noise, answered and the woman told him to be quiet.

He opposed her, telling her that Ikú was his friend.

When he came out, Ikú took his life, took the cloak from him and covered himself with it and went to sit in the square of abátala.

As the muleteers and buyers were arriving, they moved away shouting in terror.

Such was the panic that Shango intervened, asking the cause of so much commotion.

When they told Shango about it, he went to where Ikú was and said to him: Ikú what are you doing here?

Go to your destiny, giving him the black hen and that was how Ikú left.
