"Wait", he said, "don't go", "wait!".

"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".

"Don't eat my husband, don't eat my husband!", that's what she said to them.

Te, porke yu kikukuawitzti, yu kikukuawitzti! Kinilwia.

"No, because he is going to get stuck with the thorns, he's going to get pricked", she tells them.

"Whoever does not get his/her piss there we are going to kill."

So he made a trap. In the trap he was able to catch a girl of about eighteen. But at the moment she fell to the ground, immediately the girl changed into a turkey.

Then the man who caught and grabbed the turkey took it to his house. Immediately he ordered his wife to kill the turkey so they could eat it. So his wife killed the turkey, plucked it, and made the food, and they ate it.

But what they noticed was that the dog did not eat the turkey's bones and feathers. Then the whole family was left puzzled because the dog wouldn't eat the bones nor the feathers.

But the did not tell the truth, but rather arrived asking if by chance he had seen a girl pass near his house the day of the big storm.

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

Actually, they took the girl because at the moment the man saw that they tried this, he saw perfectly (well) that a beautiful girl came out of the bones and feathers.

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."

They are the ones who have money. That's why they went there to end up in the arch. And they didn't leave me money, just poverty.

As for me, if I don't work, I don't eat.

Finally, when he wanted to die because he was hungry and because he had nothing, he got out a mirror while it was lightning.

He shined with his mirror, but that was not to be his fate; he never killed him.

Nuamikuj ikustuj na nikchiwa kontar cuentos de cosas ke chiwki suceder nin tik nutechan, an nikchij kontar una cosa ke nutatanoy nechiwki kontar Ya nechilwij ka nin tik tutechan kaj de mala suerte kimutiat, kisa se animal ke yejemet kilwiat "Tzuntekumat". Yajika nutatanoy nechchiwki akonsejar kaj te ma ninejnemi tayua porke tamutiat.

My friend likes me to tell him stories about the things that have taken place in my town. Now I'm going to tell him something that my grandfather told me. He told me that in our town unfortunately one can be frightened. There's a creature they call the "skull". So, my grandfather advised me not to walk at night because they terrify you.

Tayika te? Naja niLionaj!

"Sure, I'm Leonarda."

"Tayika te? NiLionaj."

"'sure, I'm Leonarda.'"

Tayika te? Naj nin (ni)nemi, mas bien nisekmiki.

"Sure, I'm here, but I'm cold."

Therefore, now, I told my friend so that he will know that the "skull" exists and that the Siguanaba exists, for whoever is not brave will be frightened.
