The great sacrifice of love

Eya areni (the salmon) and agbon oko (the drone of the hive) were intimate friends and in addition were two don juans by profession, the first was eager for love for oroyori Oshun who lived locked up in a mother-of-pearl in the mouth of the river and the second of agbon ayaba who was the queen of the hive.

Oroyori Oshun needed and asked, in order to give her love, that to her kingdom which was odo, sand banks be brought to her where she could enjoy herself at will; and the second, agbon ayaba, asked for her wax crown.

Both desperately in love went to see elegua, who told them in his divination: okana oshe (man enslaves himself for love), you have to do Ebbo because if not you are going to become slaves for love and it will sacrifice them in the name of survival.

They agreed to do the Ebbo and thus be able to win the affection of their respective women.

Eya areni did the Ebbo but agbon oko, because he was so rebellious and lazy, did not do it completely.

Each of them presented himself before his beloved, they brought their gifts and oroyori, on seeing that eya areni brought her what she wished to have, fell in love with him and let herself be led up to the height of the river where on the sandy banks that I carry eya areni gave himself to the pleasures of the love and stayed to live there.

The bee and the wasp

In a region a bee with its hive in a state of tranquility and peace due to its industriousness and its perseverance in its work and its custom.

In that area the wasp also lived, which did not work and lived attentive to the lives of others.

On one occasion when the bee was busy with its tasks, it met the wasp, which was waiting for an opportunity to try to destroy the tranquility and peace with which the bee lived in its community, it said to the bee: you look like a slave, you spend your life working.

When not sucking flowers for the construction of your house; you have fed your children, however I do not work and I do not worry about the construction of my house, I advise you to leave that life of slavery and work and come with me to enjoy the good things in life.

The bee was thoughtful because it was true that she spent her life working, contributing to her house and taking care of her children.

For that reason the wasp had sown doubt in her to such an extent that she thought of living like the wasp without worry or work, but before taking the step she asked the wasp: dear friend, I would like to ask you a question, before deciding to live like you, what do you feed on?, In what way do you build your house?, And how do you get through the winter to protect your children?

The wasp answered her: I feed on what I find on the road, I make my house of mud and clay and hang it from any stick and the winter does not worry me, my house always falls, the strong wind always knocks it down in most cases my children perish because I do not store food for the winter; but I feel happy the way I live and I would like you to live like me, because it makes me very sad to see you work every day without rest.

The bee began to think, if I follow the wasp's advice I lose the house and my children and she said to the wasp: dear friend, I feel sorry for you because I see that you have no house, nor security with your children, it is true that I work all day, but I have food all year round, my children do not die and the strong wind does not knock down my house so I feel happy and I thank you for having cleared up my doubts about my life and knowing how to differentiate a good advice from a bad one.
