The unwanted son of the king

It happened once that there was an old king who wanted to have a son to enlarge his fortune, because all the kings of that time who had sons enlarged their fortune, but this one was not lucky because his wife had irregularities and could not have them.

The king fell in love with a maid and she became pregnant, the the king was happy because he thought his fortune would grow, but it could not be, because he was not the son of a queen, so when he saw that he could not grow his fortune, he despised him.

After 45 days the boy’s mother fell ill, then a servant who knew everything about the king and was his friend took the boy and took him to the castle with him, then all the king’s servants made his clothes and gave him food, but after 5 years the king died and shortly after the king’s wife died.

Then he took possession a worse king and imposed the law that there could not be any boy in the castle, Elegba, who was in the castle, decides to leave with the boy, toward the far edge of the city, where the poor people were and there he began to grow and work as a slave, but by then Elegba was already very old and the boy understood all this, he worked at all hours.

At work he met a female slave who also took pity on him and sent him to the house of a diviner, who told him to do an Ebbo with: one eya and that from that day he would change his name, but that he should not tell anyone until he saw a candle taller than he, but the boy grew proud and there were days when he did not greet his father and, seeing this, he went to the diviner’s house to read the boy, where he was told that he had been there, but nevertheless, he should take omiero from Obatala and scatter it at the entrance of the town and Elegba did so.

After three days a war broke out in the rich part of the town and the war was so great that the part of the rich people was moving toward the poor people’s part because all the houses and castles caught fire and would not go out with anything, but the candle kept moving farther and farther and it was drawing closer to the poor part of the town and the people kept moving farther and farther back, the boy, when he saw that candle, remembered what the diviner had told him and ran to where the candle was, which was already at the door where Elegba had thrown the omiero he stopped and shouted as if he had gone crazy, I am that young man whom they despised, and every time he walked toward the candle, it moved backward, and by the time the candle had gone out he was left half dislocated.

Olofin sent for him and said: from today on you will be the fierce candle of this town, for the good and the bad, the rich and the poor, you will have authority as long as you do not become proud, do not deny anyone anything, nor go crazy.

Because otherwise you can lose everything.

Why Olofin sacrifices animals

Story

It happened once that the birds began to spread bad propaganda about Olofin.

They said that Olofin was a murderer, because he was always sacrificing animals.

Then all the birds of prey gathered, the hawk, the kestrel, the buzzard, the caraira, the owl, etc., And held a meeting not to visit Olofin, because they said there were many crimes at the door of Olofin’s house, that there was always blood.

All the birds of prey went to the corner and brought candy to Elegba and told him to look through a hole to see what Olofin was doing.

Elegba saw a puddle of blood behind the door, went to the corner and told his friends who kept spreading bad propaganda about Olofin.

One morning he noticed the situation and took a basin with indigo water, honey of bees, and molasses, 7 rounds of tender corn and she-goat milk and put it behind the door and a jiba cross, a piece of candle, and gave the door something to eat, then in the corner was the dove, which was heading to Olofin’s house, quickly all the birds of prey came out to intercept her and told her not to go because Olofin was a murderer since he killed the animals in the middle of the door.

Be careful Eyele, he may kill you.

The dove said: anyway I am going to Olofin's house.

And she set off on her way, when she arrived at Olofin's house and entered, she stained her white feet with blood and told Olofin that she had gone to see him, but that her friends the hawks, owls, and even the vulture had told her not to go because he was a murderer, but that she did not pay them any mind because she knew it was not true.

Then Olofin explained to the dove that he did not kill anyone, that if he sacrificed animals it was to save them all, because if he did not do it they would all be lost, and you Eyele who have stained your feet with blood, as long as the world is world you will have red feet and you will live here in my house, you will not lack food and you will have children who will carry my messages wherever I need them.

Then Olofin sent the dove with a basket where he carried bodies of the animals he had sacrificed for the Ebbo; she was to pass by where all those birds of prey were and throw the rest in the corners, and so the dove did and returned to Olofin's house.

When only the Ashe of these Ebbo animals were seasoned, a commotion formed among the birds of prey, the reptiles and even Elegba, who went to eat everything that was there, then the dove, who was waiting for everyone to finish eating, told them: listen, people: who gave you the food?

We do not know, we saw it there and since it was so tasty we ate it, why didn't you come to eat with us?

No, because I have mine, damn it, and what opinion do you still have of Olofin?; Weren't you there?

Why do you ask us?

Because he is not any murderer like you say, because that food you ate was sent by him.

Then you too killed, because you ate the Ebbo that he made.

And thus all the birds of prey understood why Olofin sacrifices animals.
