Who knows from where a deer was startled.

Mikik. Kan ne miktuk, waltakatki se tekumat, waltakatki se tekumat.

She died; where she had died a groud tree sprouted.

She went. She knew where her daughter was.

"I'm going to show you where he goes."

Kunij inaket los tres pwes yek (ne) tay tikchiwtuk pero bien naja nikneki shikchiwa nuwan ne jwabor (juabor), shinechilwiti siquiera kan nemi ne plumas? Kan nakak ne ujumiu? Pal niyaw nikita kan nemi.

Then the three said, "well, what you have done is all right, but I want you to do me a favor". "Show me, at least, where the feathers are, where the bones were left, so I can go see where they are".

Then the three said, "well, what you have done is all right, but I want you to do me a favor". "Show me, at least, where the feathers are, where the bones were left, so I can go see where they are".

The three came to where the feathers and bones were that the dog had not eaten.

Soon it thrundered. When it thundered he saw that it just turned around. In the turn that it made it raised and disappeared.

So when he was hungry, he said to himself, "finally I know where my father is, where my mother is".

Kunij shikwa sikiera pan por ke tamal te kanaj. Shikwa pan pal panu mumayana.

"Then at least eat some bread, because there are no tortillas; eat bread so your hunger will go away."

He said, "where have you gone, Leonarda?"

Kan kilpij, kilwia: Bueno, an tiawit ka muchan. Tiawit tikitat su cierto kaj taja tiLionaj!

When he tied her, he said, "OK, now let's go to your house to see if it's true that you are Leonarda".

"I said, 'Doña Leonarda, where are you going?'."

In their struggle, it's not clear what she did to make the man loosened her. When it was loosened, she was able to get untied; she took off running.

When the woman got away and took off running, he regretted it.

Kan mukuminki tik ne posaj, ne kishpuluj; teya kitak. Ne puliwik ne siwat.

When she threw herself into the pool there he lost (sight of) her and couldn't see her any longer; there the woman disappeared.

Whoever it pays, can come out ahead, also. He even gives a fever to those he frightens. That one is called "the Sipitillo".
