Then the old man said, "your son needs something.

"My boys are going to come soon, they're going to play."

The old man told her, "look, he's happy to see the little birds".

"That's what I was missing."

"I'm going to throw my shoes away."

"We're going now", said the old man; "you go too, but don't forget, come anytime with your son; here are his friends to play with".

"That's what your son needed."

The little boy, since now he was a man, became the king, he became king.

The prince gave an office to the boys, since they were men now.

That's how far our story goes.

He was seeing what his wife was doing.

Whatever the man ate she took away from him, she took it away, she took everything, whatever he wanted to eat she took away from him.

"Now the priest told me that if I have a farm that I should go with her that she eat the red custard apples that are ripe, and then I should hit her with the hard ones in order to kill her."

It went by right there under the zapote tree; the head threw itself.

The deer took off jumping.

Tik ne witztal yajki. Ustuwetzi. Ran! Mutamuta ne ustut.

Into the thorns it went; it fell in the ravine -- "rann" -- it threw itself into the ravine.

The iron-toothed-old-woman sensed it; she came to go see it.

Yajki kita ne lamajtzin. Sel pipiltzitzin ne iishyu ne tekumat; sel pipiltzitzin.

The old woman went to see; the seeds of the gourd were just little boys, they were just little boys.

Nanita, nanita, nanita! Kilwiat inlama. Queremos hamaquita, nanita! Kilwiat tik kastiaj.

They said to their grandmother, "gramma, tomorrow we are going to go hunt", they tell her. "Go ahead, my grandchildren", she said.

But as the Nanahuatzin was there, the youngest child, he saw what their grandmother was doing.

Ay nanita! Kilwiat. Nanita, tenemos hambre! Kilwiat.

"Oh gramma", they said, "gramma, we're hungry" they tell her.

Shikida nanita!, kilwiat. Talikat masat, wan sanka.

"Look, gramma", they said to her, "we brought a deer", and it was a lie.

She said to them in Spanish, "get up my grandchildren, the food is ready".

Ay nanita! Me duele la cabeza, yu estoy rendido, kilwiat tik kastiaj.

"Oh gramma, my head aches, I'm exhausted", they say in Spanish.

She felt like throwing up, but she couldn't.

Bueno, esta bueno! Ma kia. Pero niu nikmiktia ne chimpitoj.

"Well, that's all right, so be it, but I'm going to kill that youngest child."

They said, "look grandmother, we're going to make a bet; whoever passes his/her piss on top of the house we don't want to kill".

On the third day after the storm had passed and they had eaten the turkey, there came two men and a woman to look for it. They arrived at the house of the man who had caught it because they more or less already knew who had caught it.

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".

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

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.

"Then bring me some more sandwiches; I'll put them in my bag to eat tomorrow."

"On the sly I tied her up with my belt and I'm bringing her here to see if it's true that it's not you."

He turned around to look her in the face and he saw her large eyes, not like people's eyes.

She ran until she got to the edge of the river and she throw herself into a big pool.
