Stories and patakíes

Where the tiger changed its clothes and saved itself

The tiger was dressed in red and went to Orunmila's house, who told him: you have to do Ebbo and change your clothes so that your enemies do not recognize you, and you cannot go out into the street without first changing your clothes.

When the tiger was going out his wife reminded him of Orunmila's advice.

He did not go out and his enemies, who were waiting for him near his house, could not catch him.

The old woman and the tiger

A huge and ferocious tiger arrived at a village and began to prowl and finish off the crops.

Fear took hold of its inhabitants, who decided to take refuge on an island that was full of ope de ikines.

Everyone met for the departure, but they had to leave in the village an old woman who, because her body was covered with sores, could not be moved.

They left her in her hut with water and food and tied the door tightly so the tiger could not get in.

When the old woman understood the danger she was in, she began to boil oil and to wait for the tiger's arrival.

It burst into the village and began to sniff around the old woman's hut, and since it could not get in, it lifted one of its paws on the guano wall and opened a hole through which it stuck its head.

The old woman, when she saw it, took the boiling oil container and threw it on its head, blinding it.

When the next day the old woman's relatives went to look for her, they learned what had happened and chased the tiger and killed it.
