Stories and patakíes

The four friends

There were four friends who were planting on a small plot of land and they agreed to plant corn and so they did, and the four worked hard, but time passed and what the corn produced was fodder, they planted again and it gave the same.

Until one of the four, who had many children, began to plead with Olofin and all the saints for that land to bear fruit and Elegba, who was nearby, went to where the man was and asked him what was happening; he told him what was going on and Elegba told him let us go see orunla, and he told him:

Do not plant any more corn, plant pumpkin and he gave him the seeds.

He went to see his friends and explained what had happened and what orunla had said, but these paid no attention to him; the angry man threw away the seeds that orunla had given him and shortly after a beautiful pumpkin patch was formed and when Oshun passed by there, she was delighted; she asked if they were selling them and they said no, and what do you want for them, Oshun asked, a favor so that this may produce corn, then she said this is easy because what you do not know is how to plant it, and she taught them.

Shango, who was passing by there, asked the same thing, whether they were selling the pumpkins and they said what they wanted was corn, and Shango told them that what that land produced was yam, and they planted it, the same as the corn, san lazaro and asked the same thing and told them to plant beans, and they did so; then Oya came and asked the same about the pumpkins and she said to plant trees, and they planted them, and everything was given in abundance.

The candle and the cotton

The candle was envious of the cotton and had ill will because of how white it was and how much Obatala loved it, for the services it rendered him, and Obatala, seeing what was happening, ordered the candle to be taken away a little, but it took advantage of the wind, but Obatala saw this and ordered the wind to take a different direction, and then the candle thought of turning around, but then Obatala sent the cotton to Orunmila's house, who sent him Ebbo with water and the candle went out and the Ebbo defeated its enemy.

The palm tree, the cane, and the candle.

There was a man dedicated to the planting of cane, and there this cane trade had never been done, but he was a man who had visited faraway lands and had seen how this trade he prospered and believed himself to be king, thinking about what he was going to give away from his plots.

There was another man devoted to the cultivation of the palm and from it he would extract palmiche from his yaguas to make brooms and a house, and he lived comfortably with his family.

The sugarcane settler plants sugarcane beneath the palm clumps, and the weight of the yaguas and the palmiche make the cane break and die.

For this reason he filed a lawsuit against the owner of the palms and told him that he would order all the palms in those places to be cut down.

In which he had his sugarcane planting and the land would be his property.

The owner of the palms grew sad and it is necessary that his wife encourage him.

One night this woman dreams that someone told her to go to the house of Orunmila, where he was going to resolve her problems and that Eshu would help her.

When she woke up in the morning she told her husband the dream, and he goes to the house of Orunmila and he marks Ebbo for him and tells him to throw it in the sugarcane field.

This man did everything Orunmila indicated and went to throw the Ebbo in the sugarcane field and was pursued by two men, and when he threw the Ebbo, these men caught him with another Ebbo like this one.

And the days passed, he was there smoking and talking.

The cane was already flowering and the owner mounted on his horse tells his men soon I will be rich, look how the planting is.

The wind swayed the cane leaves with a gentle rocking.

The man dug his spurs into his horse and it bolted and threw him to the ground near where those hidden men were; who, when they saw what was happening, ran out, leaving their cigars and lit tobacco, which when fanned by the wind began to gain strength and turned into a bonfire and the flames began to spread throughout the entire sugarcane field, and only stood upright the beautiful tall and slender palms with their wavy hair.

The owner of the sugarcane fields grew sad and died of grief, and the owner of the palms, for being obedient to Eshu and Orunmila, continued making fortune together with his family and prospered greatly.
