210 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 "Oh, uh, my maid is in ... she's there, but, ach, she is an orphan, a little orphan. I took her in, because her mother died," she said. "Even so," he said. "If it's her foot that fits then I'll marry her," he said. "How can you believe that that sooty thing's foot will go in?" she said. Hoho, Holy Mary, when she put her foot in, it slipped right into the shoe! Haha, now she was in that prince's hands! He left, dragging her out. Her mother wasn't respected, the godmother, that godmother, no, her mistress, it seems. Like me who is bringing up a girl, like that. "Now even if you bawl me out, even if you get mad, get mad! I'm taking her. I'm taking the girl away. I'm marrying her. The only thing I recommend to you is that tomorrow you go to the fiesta and that's that, no arguments." The awful girls were left in anger. "How, how can we believe that the shoe fits that Indian? Huh, loafer, covered with ashes. I don't believe it. Who knows how it could be," they said. But however it was, she was the one. The daughters didn't make a sou—nd now. They were angry now. "Who knows how this girl did it. If only I had had another orphan, it seems, then I'd still see how to be married. How come it wasn't me whose foot fit? I would surely get myself a husband. I wouldn't have any more problems. I'd get married tomorrow," they said. I don't know if they published the banns, if they had all the things to do with the priest. They were married. They celebrated the fiesta for two days. That old woman and old man went. And now the fiesta turned out better because that sash asked for a fiesta. It asked for a band. It asked for whate—ver that girl desired. They had a fi—ne fiesta. Now the girl was well-loved by the king, it seems, since she held the fiesta herself. So now she asked for music or she asked for food. Whatever was needed she would do. She would fix it, because she knew how. "The thing is, everything I do is my own responsibility. You'll see what I do," she said. "But how do you do it?" he asked. "I don't do anything. I know how to look after [things]," she said. "Fine!" they said. "Ah!" they said. "We're hungry!" they said. "Eat!" she said. She served the meal right away. They ate, when they were newlyweds. "Don't bother! Why should we mistreat you after you have been mistreated where you used to be and now I come and mistreat you here? No!" he said. "She is my son's wife!" said the king. "All right, then," she said. The maids were treated well. "Have you fin- "7O, 7a, jkriara te ta, 7oy te, pero, tz', me7on, werfanita, yu7un jpasoj rekojer yu7un cham sme7," xi la.

ished?" the girl asked when she arrived. "No!" they said. "I'll help you," she said. Hah, in a minute she went to wash the dishes, but it seems that it wasn't her hands that washed them. When you looked, all the dishes were done. She just looked at them. As soon as she looked at them, if she looked at them, then they were done. Plates, bowls, tortilla gourds were suddenly face down, suddenly face down. Well, the king had some chairs, long ago. They weren't like the chairs of today, pure stone. Who knows how the stone was carved. And they were like these ones, but they were tall, wide, and thick. She went to wipe them off. She went to wash them, but in a minute, in a minute she dried them off. "Huh, how does that girl do it?" they said. They didn't want to complain about her at all now. On her own she went to look at the kitchen. On her own she went to look at the girls who were fixing the meal there. "I'm going to see if the food is cooked. I'm going to taste the food," she said, because she was going to help them. She pitied them. "No, don't do that! I don't want you to," said her husband. "But the poor things, I feel sorry for them. That's the way my hardship was before." "Even if it's like your suffering, for that very reason you should take a rest now," he said. "Now that you are here today under my control you will rest," he said. "Before, because you were under the control of poor people they were very satisfied having you go out to sell fatback or go out to sell pork, going to sell from house to house," he said. "But when you began to be favored, it seems, then you didn't [have to] work hard anymore. I saw that, of course, because your fatback was bought up right at the door. It was just when you got the thing on your forehead," he said. "Then there was a wonderful star on your forehead," he said. "With it, then you sold [things] easily. You didn't [have to] walk anywhere." Since it was then that her hardship began to be eased. She no longer had to carry hea—vy things on her head, baskets or whatever. If she had pork she would carry it on her head and go sell it. Her little shawl, that little rebozo was just covered with blood, it seems, covered with lard, but the poor girl [smelled] ra—ncid. You wouldn't [ever] marry her, it seems. The girl [smelled] rancid. "All right," she said. "Take a rest now. Don't work any more. Don't go wherever it is you go. Just sit down here. <strong>Res</strong>t, because your lungs are very worn out now. You are exhausted," said [the prince]. TONIK NIBAK 211 7une. "Ya akabaron?" xi la k'otel ti tzeb 7une.
