Stories and patakíes

The king is dead, long live the king

There were two towns that were fighting, and in the bitter fights there fell prisoners the kings of both towns.

In those times, it was customary to the exchange of prisoners; but it happens that one of the warring sides gives death to the opposing king.

When the time came to carry out the exchange, they did not know how to carry out what had been agreed; but it so happens that in that town there was a man identically the same as the dead king and an arrest order is issued against him.

This one fled and took refuge in the most intricate part of the forest because he thought they were looking for him to kill him or lock him up.

So much did they search for him that they found him, made him a prisoner, and took him to the the capital of that kingdom.

On the road the prisoner begged his captors to release him that he had done nothing against anyone nor had he violated any of the laws of his town.

The captors treated him with every kind of courtesy and attentions and told him that they were not going to kill him or send him to prison, that they were taking him to the king's palace to do him a great favor by which he would become rich.

When they arrived at the palace, they dressed the prisoner in the clothes and attributes of the enemy king assassinated by them, making him identical to the same one, and so they exchanged him for their own king.

And Yunle remained king of that land.

Note

A person cannot be king in his own land.

Ewe ikoko, wife of Orunmila

Ewe ikoko was the wife of Orunmila, but she offended him so much and failed him so much that one day he separated from her and cast Shepe upon her.

Ewe ikoko looked for so many people to intercede for her that Orunmila resigned himself to forgiving her, but on the condition of no longer living with her and only granted her the favor that all the ebboses would henceforth go dressed in her clothing (the taro leaf), so that they would be well received.

This is the reason why all the ebbós are wrapped in taro leaf.
