  I remember what my grandmother and my grandfather told me.

• Keman inat yejemet ka yawi panu urakan, segun yejemet inat ka tik ne ejekat panu ne witzet hombres wan siwatket al aire con tal de que witzet kwikat elut pal yejemet kiwikat, kunij ne mijmil nakak bien quebrado, bien aplastado, varias mazorcas desfigurado en un aspecto de como buba, yajane mazorcas kwikat ne Chiltiupanekos sekun nutatanoy wan nu noyaj kichiwket kontar.

  Translation

  When they say there is going to be a big storm, so they say, in the wind that comes by there come men and women in the wind such that they come to carry off ears of corn for them to eat. Thus the milpas were left broken, quite flattened, with many ears of corn disfigured with a look like pustules. Those were the ears of corn that the Chilteopaners took, according to my grandfather and my grandmother.

• Kienej nechiwtuk kontar nutatanoy wan nunoyaj, wan esta fecha siempre panu urakan pero tejemet teya keman tikitaket su walkuwetzi se, yajiika an nikchiwa kontar nuamikuj pal kwika como recuerdo ini kwentuj. <arco>

  That's what my grandfather and grandmother told me, and big storms always come, but we never saw if one came to fall. So, today I am telling this to my friend so he can take this story with him as a remembrance.
