The goat and the elephant

The mountain goat goes one day to orunla's house so that he would perform for her osode, she wanted to have a great stature, not being content with the one she had.

Then he marks Ebbo for her with different things.

The goat left and ordered everything that she needed for said Ebbo.

At that time the elephant was working for wages at the goat's house, there he carried out the different tasks and the different errands that the goat wanted.

One day the elephant goes to orunla's house so that he would look at him, and Ifa sends him Ebbo with different things, the elephant told him that he would do all those things and left for his house.

When he arrived, he went to the goat, asking her to lend him money to carry out the Ebbo.

The goat lent the elephant the money and told him to remember to do what had been ordered for her, because the goat was left for those things and she wanted the elephant to also do everything pertaining to her in the Ebbo.

The elephant left carrying everything requested for the Ebbo to orunla and he prepared everything with what he had asked the elephant for, together with what he had asked the goat for.

As he did the work little by little, the elephant was gaining size.

As the goat was not present, the elephant was the one doing the Ebbo.

After everything was finished, the elephant gathered the Ebbo in a bundle and set out on the road toward the goat's house.

Along the way he met Elegba who asked him what it was that he was carrying in the bundle; the elephant answered that it was an Ebbo he had done at orunla's house.

He said to him

Aren't you crazy, did you also want to have a great stature?

Weren't you the one who carried out all the Ebbo and the sacrifices that he ordered you to do.

There is your reward, you have gained a great stature and now you are bigger than the goat.

From today you will tell the goat that she has to do what you say.

The elephant arrived very saddened at the goat's house because he had acquired a very bulky and heavy body; the goat, when she saw him, was surprised and asked: since when have you become so big?.

And she ran off leaving everything to the elephant.

The three scribbles

Elegba was going around testing his children, pretending to be a beggar and asking from door to door and from place to place.

Everywhere they gave him what he wanted, until he came to the house of an okuni who was bad-tempered and refused to give him anything, not even hospitality, for which reason Elegba described him as greedy and lacking kindness.

The okuni who refused hospitality to Elegba, food, and other things that he asked for, was not really greedy, nor of an evil heart, but rather somewhat capricious, the kind who did not like to be forced into anything and was also a little lacking in memory.

He had assumed that he had already given to Elegba and that he was coming for the second time.

Thus things happened, and the okuni who refused Elegba what he asked for, on one occasion had to go to another place where a war or confusion arose and, without realizing it, he found himself involved in the tragedy and was accused of what he had not done, for which reason he was about to lose his leri.

While he was waiting for what might happen to him and lamenting what up to that moment had happened to him, and while he was between sleeping and waking, he saw a shadow or someone calling him and telling him what he should do to save himself.

What he saw was Elegba.

He paid attention and then Elegba gave him three scribbles and asked him to quickly give him an Akuko in the nigbe, that he would sort out the matter since he knew and was friends with the Oba of that place.

This okuni was accused because of his great resemblance to the man who fled and had caused that disturbance or confusion.

Our character was accused of being the cause of all that, but Elegba, disguised, got in among the people and convinced them that this man was innocent and that the guilty one for everything was the one who had gone off at full speed.

9but even so they did not let him return immediately and he had to waiting for them to process the permit so he could leave there.

When this man was set free, he gave Elegba his Akuko in the nigbe and when he arrived home he put the three scribbles in it and it was like an inshe Ozain and from then on he always complied with Elegba and did not complain anymore about anything he asked him for.

Note

The okuni had gone to the other town in search of his wife who had gone away.

What the shadow or in other words Elegba told him he had to do to save himself was to keep calm at that moment and call upon the angel guardian, and then do the work of the Akuko.
