174 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 bega—n. The governor's soldiers always ate stolen food. They'd scarcely buy it! "God, how will we be freed from our hardship— suffering as we do? It's not possible." I had a hen turkey crouching along the foot of the fence, in the weeds, in ta—11 weeds. They made a pa—th through [the weeds] and grabbed the turkey. They grabbed the turkey and went on. Yes! They took away two chickens and one turkey. Yes! [No sheep?] Not my sheep. Not my sheep. Just my turkey and my chickens. They did go! Yes! On the fourth day, my pots we—nt, my bowls went. I had a ball of yarn this big, just wool. They stole it. They went to sell them. There was a store, a bar. They went to sell them, to exchange them. I still saw my bowls. They were this big, huge. What good were they now? They were somebody else's now. We lost lots of our things. I had a chest. I had some books. I had some notebooks. They all went. They stole them all. "God, My <strong>Lo</strong>rd, why do we have so much hardship, mother?" I asked my mother. "Ah, you're right, daughter! Never mind, I guess. We'll see what we'll live on," said my mother. "Yes, you're right, of course!" I said. Yes! They returned more—more than they stole. They came back. Obregon's soldiers came. They came to ask a favor. They had stolen a mule-load of flour here at the Ventana. A mule-load of flour. "Do you want a third of the flour in exchange for making tortillas for us to eat?" said the soldiers. Three soldiers arrived. "We do!" we said. "I'll pay someone, then, to come and bring it," they told us. A sack of flour. "Just send [word] to us. We'll come and get [the food]," they said. "Make tortillas for us to eat!" they said. "Three days. If we find more, we'll give it to you," they said. "Okay," I said. We made tortillas. This big a sta—ck of wheat tortillas went every day. Every day they ate them. Yes! A little, half straw mat of flour was probably used up. That much. They ate it and we ate it. Yes! "Never mind, then, My <strong>Lo</strong>rd," I said. "If you will still be so kind as to make tortillas, we'll get some more," they said. "Bring it!" we said. [One of them] brought it. He came to leave it. Another bag. "Well, never mind, we'll store up the rest. We'll be happy to eat it when we haven't any corn," said my mother. We put it away. The straw mat was empty now. "What can I do with the straw mat? Take it!" he told us. 7elek'-k'utikuk naka ta 7elek' 7onox chve7 li yajsoltero li govyernoe yu7 van tzman 7un!

"Okay," we said. "That's probably payment for our firewood, mother," I said, myself. "That's it!" she said. Yes! We made [them tortillas]. He came to take them. He kept coming to take them. One day he came carrying two turkeys. Probably Chamulans' turkeys! Yes! "Fix the turkeys for us to eat. We're hungry," he said. "You eat half, we'll eat half," he said. "Ah!" we said. As for my mother, she fixed a whole turkey. He carried the whole potful off. It went together with my pot. Ye—s! He had said he would stay to eat the one. That's what he had said. Yes! "Won't you separate out your meal, then?" [he asked]. "No," said [my mother]. "Oh, ma'am, why are you being like this?" he asked. "I told you, One today, one tomorrow, I told you," he said. "Never mind, then," he said. "Since there are just three of us eating, you'll just have to figure it out—we'll eat it. There will still be cold [food]," he said. So then he took our pot to eat out of. [The big pot] stayed. It was a little pot that went. Six pieces [of turkey] went. Our own portion was left, it seems. We ate. He left. He came to get their tortillas. He would bring something—a chicken or a rooster. He would come to get the food for his tortillas. Our pay was half a bag of flour—half for them. We lived on it, it seems. "The trouble is, my firewood has run out. I haven't any firewood left," my mother told him. "We'll see if there's a way for the firewood to come. There's a lot of firewood. Take it from the paths! You're scared to get it from the fences," he said. They just warmed themselves with the fences! "Ah, but my neighbor will scold me! Don't you see, it's my neighbor's fence," I said. "Ah, what does it matter to you?" he said. "No!" I said. "Don't you see, we'll pay someone for it," my mother told him. "Ah!" he said. "But don't be scared to [steal]!" he said. He had gotten this ma—ny broad beans in a bag, green broad beans. "He said, Cook the green broad beans to eat too, " I told [my mother]. "Eh, but I don't know how to," said [my mother]. "Do you know how we should eat them, mother?" I said, myself. "We'll shuck the pods and then we'll boil them." "What if they don't eat them that way? You see, they only eat them fried," she said. "Yes, of course!" I said myself. I shucked the pods. Now they were we—11- TONIK NIBAK 175 "Beno," xichiotikotik.
