Stories and patakíes

Ololofo, the fly became powerful and obtained everything she wanted

Ololofo, the fly, had gone to Orunmila's house to be able to do everything she desired in the world and he made an Ebbo and an inshe so that she could go wherever she wanted.

The fly entered wherever she wanted and as soon as she was in Olofin's house as she was in Iku's house, that is why Olofin was upset and said:

"Since she knows so much, I will put her to a test and if she fails she will die."

Ololofo had an iwi that warned her of everything and helped her to identify everything she needed to know and that was by virtue of her mother.

But she had to be alert because one failure would cost her life.

The fly fed iwi at the door of her house Adie merin and was always giving abagdo to her mother tibi, because she had a business in the market where all the saints used to go eat.

Olofin got two mats, in one he put kokoriko and they tied the bundle with a white and black ileke and in the other he put an ekun and tied it with white and red ileke.

The two animals were hungry and Olofin sent two emissaries to carry the bundles to ololofo's house, so that she would divine their contents, otherwise the death penalty that was Olofin's sanction.

Thus Olofin's emissaries arrived in the fly town and passed by Ile loya and there they saw a woman selling abagdo and this was ololofo's iyare and these did not know it and bought agbado and asked kokoriko and ekun whether they wanted some of what they had bought and thus ololofo's mother found out what was in the bundles, the emissaries asked for Oti and she told them to wait for a very good one she had saved.

She warned ololofo of what was in the bundles and went back to give the Oti to the emissaries and they asked her for ololofo's address and set out, ololofo was already waiting for them and they said they were coming by Olofin's order:

To my house an ekun and a kokoriko did arrive, said ololofo.

The emissaries left with the bundles and told everything to Olofin who said:

"True, the fly is terrible, so let her do whatever she wants because Ashe she has for that."

And thus the fly goes to the king's table, as much as to that of the Orishas, as to Iku's, and all thanks to iwi and to her iyare and to her godfather.

When people took out their hearts to bathe

In this path it was customary in those days when people went to bathe they took out their hearts and left them in a safe place near where they took the bath, and when they finished they picked them up and put them back on.

In that a man on earth had three enemies, and they didn't know how to defeat him, and they set traps for him every day, but he did not fall into any of them, and so he escaped, but he was abusing his good fortune.

This man was very astute and went to Orunmila's house, who marked him for betrayal and Orunmila told him to carry out works so that his enemies would not defeat him and that he could no longer keep trusting in his good star, since one day that could bring him the loss of happiness and also of life.

This man did not do anything that Orunmila had marked out for him and, as was to be expected, his enemies, who said they were his friends, invited him to bathe in the river and then have a big party in his honor.

When they arrived at the river, they undressed and all took out their hearts and left them in safety on the bank and went into the river; then his enemy went up to where he had left his heart and switched it for a stone, and the heart was placed somewhere else and crushed with a stone that was in the river.

The result was that this character drowned in the river through overconfidence.
