Stories and patakíes
The boa
El majá (the snake) for not making Ebbó he ended up without legs or arms, crawling for the rest of his life.
Even if the sign comes in ire, Ebbó must be made.
El bello was a man, like all the others, but one day he felt sick and went to get a reading and a head rogation came out for a bad illness that was coming down on him; but he paid no attention to such warning and did not do the aforementioned head rogation.
Shortly after, he broke out in a rash all over his body and as a result of it, his arms and legs fell off.
Then he sent his wife to have him read again, and then it came out that, so that he could get well again, he had to take two bunches of coconuts, four pigeons in each hand and with that, he would get well.
But, understanding that if he no longer had hands or legs, he could not carry such things for the rogation, he did not do it either and he stayed crawling for the rest of his life.
The stubborn one
There was a person who was not of bad feelings, but he was always looking for trouble because of his character, for he was a friend of arguments and of contradicting everyone; so great was the antipathy he created that he seems to have been forced to leave the town.
At the town's exit he met a merchant who asked him: good friend, how are things going?
And he answered: as always, good for some, bad for others, that is why I am leaving the town.
But don't you know?
Said the merchant.
We are all running away because the king says that whoever does not make Ebbó will be killed.
Well, said our man, I have not done it nor will I do it, and he kept walking.
After a while the king's men found him and took him before the king, accusing him of being a ringleader and traitor; he was sentenced to prison and there he died of sorrow.
This patakí shows us that disobedience brings problems and even death.
