The path where Olokun eats duck

Yemaya told Olokun I have a breed of animals which you would like to eat, and in turn Olokun told Yemaya; I also have a breed which you would like to eat.

The animal that Olokun had in his breed was the Akuko.

At that time what Yemaya ate were Adie and Olokun only ate ram and pig.

Yemaya told Olokun I will come to get you so that you can see my breed.

Then the day came and Yemaya took Olokun to her house in which she had a breed of ducks but these were not strong and Olokun told her: I only eat strong animals.

Then Yemaya started to cry with shame, then Olokun told her; come, let's take a walk and when they went out for a stroll they met Elegba who, when he saw that Yemaya was crying, started to sing:

Ofun magua lode yauro lona Olokun newa lodeo aayuro lona.

Then Yemaya and Olokun got confused and turned back and with amazement they saw how Yemaya's ducks were swimming in the lagoon the most majestic and beautiful way they had ever seen before.

Olokun told Yemaya how beautiful things were, then Yemaya taking some ducks gave them to Olokun to eat.

Since Elegba had told him they were very tasty.

As soon as Olokun finished eating he invited Yemaya and Elegba to go to his estate where his breeding place was, in which there were rams, pigs and roosters and then Olokun gave them these animals to eat and asked them which one they had liked the most and then Elegba and Yemaya answered that the Akuko.

Then Olokun taking two geese from his breeding place, Yemaya and Elegba got scared and ran away while vomiting the ram and the pig and thus they appeared before Orunmila who, when he saw them in that state, performed osorde and saw them this Ifa and told them that you have eaten three things and they harm you.

Then Orunmila marked the Ebbo from above.

Yemaya and Elegba went to the breeding place of Olokun and from there they stole the animals for the Ebbo and that later they would have to throw into the sea in the bowl.

The next day Olokun upon waking saw that bundle inside his waters and went to check it and saw that there were Akuko and duck there and he at on the spot with great happiness.

Then Olokun started feeding his akukos well and in secret he also fed Yemaya's ducks so that they would always be big and strong.

Then he sent for Elegba and told him

From today on, every day you have to come and eat Akuko with me, which you will then take to Yemaya so that in return she sends me some of her ducks that are big and strong.

Since then Yemaya eats Akuko and Olokun eats big and strong ducks.

The bobo devil

Once there was a man who knew how to work to perfection everything related to iron as a raw material since he was a great locksmith but he did not like to work and apparently he was content with little but deep down he was a greedy person and did not show it.

He had a blacksmith shop at the outskirts of the town to shoe horses.

Elegba wanted to help him he criticized him by saying you are bobo how are you only going to make horseshoes for horses; you can also make spears, grates doors, etc.

And thus you would make more money.

Few horsemen pass by here for you to shoe their horses.

He answered him.

This is the business that I want to exploit.

In the blacksmith shop yard there was a ateje tree and at its shadow the blacksmith put an old chair so the horsemen could sit down on it while he shod their horses.

One day Olofin decides to make a visit to those lands to grant three favors to each of their inhabitants and when Elegba found out he went to the blacksmith shop and told the blacksmith.

Olofin is coming handing out three favors be smart and ask for three good things so you don't keep suffering hardships in this blacksmith shop he answered him I am going to think about what I am going to ask Olofin for.

Olofin came to the blacksmith shop and Elegba was already there.

Olofin told the blacksmith ask me for three favors then the blacksmith after meditating told him.

Grant me the favor that all the young men who climb onto this ateje tree; may they not be able to get down until I order it.

Olofin granted him the favor.

Elegba, when he heard this request, put his hands on his head and reproached him Olofin told the blacksmith ask me for the second favor.

The blacksmith told him I want everything that enters this yard not to be able to leave until I order it.

Olofin granted this favor too and Elegba again put his hands on his head and reproached him again.

What Elegba did not know was that this man had already thought everything out in advance and the benefits that these requests would bring him over time.

Olofin told him ask me for the third favor.

That man acted as if he was thinking and after a little while he said.

I want you to grant me the favor of that whoever sits in that chair cannot get up until such time as I do not order it.

Olofin also granted him this wish.

Elegba reproached him harshly since he could not see how deep those requests were nor had he stopped to analyze the suspicious intelligence that that blacksmith had.

Olofin, understanding the depth of the blacksmith's favor requests, told Elegba.

Don't bother with him I have understood the reach of these requests for he is dominated by great greed which does not let him understand and as to you he seems like a bobo to me he seems like a bobo devil.

Elegba told Olofin truly baba I do not understand on what you base this judgment but if for you he is a devil for me he is a bobo devil.

Olofin answered him before long you will begin to understand the reach of these requests I have granted them because I never thought that one of my children would make such big requests.

But since I did not put any condition on the favors that I could grant I had to grant them.

Few days later the sons of the king of caceria left and in it one of the horses had to lose a horseshoe and they headed to the blacksmith shop then the head of the escort enters the blacksmith shop to shoe the horse and the king's sons run and climb onto the ateje tree.

The blacksmith, upon seeing the escort, realized who they were, then he shod the horse with great care and meticulously charges the amount of his work and when the head of the escort ordered the king's sons to get down from the the ateje tree, these did not obey, and neither did he have any desire to leave the blacksmith's yard, just as all the members of the escort.

Then the blacksmith ordered one of the escorts to go to the palace to let the king know what was happening.

When the king learned of that situation, he went to the blacksmith's shop and upon entering it he felt well and did not have any desire to leave it.

This angered the king, who asked one of his escort what was going on.

The escort replied, majesty, this is like bewitched, none of those who go in want to leave and his children do not want to get down from the ateje tree.

The king, no matter how much he ordered, nobody paid him any attention, and then, ashamed, he went to the blacksmith and said do something to get everyone out of here and for my children to get down from the blessed tree.

The blacksmith replied try it yourself, you are the king.

He, overwhelmed, sat down on the chair and when he tried to get up he could not stand.

Then he called the blacksmith and offered him riches and titles in exchange for him freeing everyone from that situation.

The blacksmith, after making sure that the king was going to comply with him, went to the ateje tree and ordered the boys to get down from it.

They got down at once, and he ordered the soldiers to leave the blacksmith's shop and they did so, and he went to the king and also ordered him to leave the blacksmith's shop and he did so.

Elegba, who was watching all that, was surprised by how intelligent and greedy the blacksmith was and went to Olofin's house, who, upon seeing him arrive, said to him.

Elegba, have you seen what your blacksmith, dumb devil, has achieved with the three graces that I granted him at his request.

Elegba told him, now I understand everything you told me.

Then Olofin told him, since it is for his personal benefit and for his greed hidden, to make himself rich at the expense of others, I withdraw from this moment those three graces.
