Stories and patakíes

The hen's eggs

The hen lay her eggs every day, thinking that after three fridays she would hatch her chicks, but her enemies, the bark louse and the worms and the other insects would peck at her eggs, leaving them completely empty, the hen, tired of staying on top of her eggs, one day got up and went to consult and then did Ebbo with 5 eggs, worms, a rooster and two big chicks.

That is how she did it, and from then on she gained sight, and when they were the insects she would see them coming to bite and she killed them, and that is why from then on when the hen is brooding she pecks at whoever comes near her.

The mouth killed the head

Once upon a time there was a hunter who was resting from his fatigue in the shade of a big tree, the man was meditating on how unproductive that day of hunting had been.

Nothing achieved despite his sadness, that man was biting his insides.

Desperate he returned to his hut when after a few steps he had to stop horrified before a human head that seemed to have been beheaded.

In the face of fear, that whole forest seemed quieter than ever, so much so that not even the sweet song of the birds that at times accompanied him in his solitude could be heard.

That man's blood in his body chilled his veins and, overwhelmed with terror before the human head, he murmured in his mind: who could have put to death the man whose head I have at my feet?

As if it had heard him, the head began to speak.

Disconcerted and half dead of anguish, not so much because of what he was seeing as because of what the man was hearing he wanted to retrace his steps but curiosity made him go back to question the talking head.

– Who killed you?

And the head replied: the mouth.

With wings for feet, unconscious of everything around him, the young hunter arrived at the village in which he lived, head down he set out to rest and forget that unpleasant event.

But an old man, while he was enjoying himself with his dirty and foul-smelling pipe, spoke to him in these terms:

– What has happened to you that you are not bringing on your back the game that will serve you as food?

And the inexperienced young man replied: after a painful wading through streams where the animals quench their thirst, I climbed the mountains where the mighty ekun had its lair without my arrows being able to put to death the deer; on my return I found a human head, bleeding and dirty, whose half-open eyes looked at the sky and whose lips seemed to smile in a infernal way at which with my thoughts I questioned for its misfortune, who put it to death I asked, and what surprise there would not be when I heard its reply: the mouth.

There was a brief silence, interrupted again by his voice.

I have told you everything from the high rock to the deep ravine.

The news ran through the town, no one could believe the story of the young hunter, but everyone came with him to the place where the event had occurred.

After they had arrived at the place where the head of the beheaded man was, the hunter approached it and asked it the same question:

– Who killed the head?

After this question not even the buzzing of a fly was heard.

The inhabitants furious because of the lie that that young hunter had told them accused him and gave him a sentence of death.
