Stories and patakíes

Ayakua tiroko tinshomo aroni

On this path Olofin the eternal, when he created the world, gave every animal a power or attribute with which to defend itself; among the birds he called agbigbo (cao) and entrusted him with being the watcher over all the others and telling dide everything that he was the king, who would relay everything to gunugun (tiñosa), who was Olofin's messenger; kana kana (cernicalo) was the executioner of the forest; owiwi (lechuza), they were all the messengers of kukuto, eiye Shango (hummingbird) is the one in charge of guarding Shangó's secrets; eiye aroni (zunzun) is the one who warned Osanyin; eiye Oba (the cardinal) is the priest of all the birds and so each bird and animal of the forest.

In the earliest times, all the animals and birds of the world at dawn went to the meadow, all together to eat, "aun," whose skin is made of stone, and nobody knew him also went to the meadow.

There was among the birds the cao who, when he saw an individual who was a little strange, called gunugun and told him: in the forest there is a stone that walks and eats; this he told adide and this one to all the birds, and they said: no, we have never seen a stone eat and it cannot be true.

Abigbo told all the other birds

At dawn a ota came out with you, but they saw nothing, only a quartered mass standing on oduara, then aun was still quiet and when he moved they were left amazed, and gunugun went to see Olofin.

And he said to him

Who gave a stone permission to walk and eat with us, today we saw it there; Olofin said: what you saw is not an ota, consult, and in three days when you go I will go there to teach you with Osanyin.

They consulted and it came out for them to do Ebbo and take it to the forest, but they did not do it, but they did not do it because they believed that it was not necessary.

The third day came and all the birds and animals went to eat in the forest, Olofin told them: the animals to one side, the birds to the other: in aroni's forest there is only one ota that eats, that is ota la baloke (oduara), that which you took for an ota is not one, it is older than all of you together and the mammals too, that is "aun" who is a diviner and is called ayakua tiroko tinshomo aroni, who is the diviner of the forest.

The diviner of birds and animals then claimed the Ebbo, and when they did not have it, he took them all together and with ayakua he handed them over to aroni, who since then is the owner of all these and the essence of Osanyin, where each animal kept through the virtue of Osanyin the power that Olofin had granted them.

Agbeyami (the peacock) and tolo tolo (the turkey)

In the city of yarin it turned out that the emir of the huasa abeyami was the peacock royal, who lived in great splendor at court with his wife, and in that same court lived tolo tolo who was the court diviner, the emir, his wife and the courtiers being his godchildren.

Everyone lived in harmony, but tolo tolo lived in love with abeyami's wife and, using his magic, he used some brews to live with the emir's wife.

But not content with this tolo tolo craved abeyami's power, and for this he prepared a poison in complicity with the emir's wife, and they gave it to him drink and he died, but when the emir's son was born tolo tolo could not go and he sent one of his sons, and he, not knowing, buried the emir with his cloak and the crown, which frustrated tolo tolo's plans to take the throne, and his fate was pitiable.

One day oronishe Shango went to visit yarin, and when he asked about abeyami they told him what happened and he inquired about abeyami's son, who was hidden, because tolo tolo wanted to kill him.

Shango finally found him and consulted him and marked Ebbo for him, called to his house tolo tolo and reproached him for what he had done and ate him up, for his cloak was white.
