228 he reached the place where the awful cow was. The horrible cow was already hu—rtling towards him. It was a spotted cow, it seems. It had white spots. Maybe that was the woman's blouse. Her braids were the horns. It ru—shed towards the man now to gore him. The man lost no time at all. In a minute he roped it. The lasso, the rope, it seems, went around its horns. He caught it. He tied it up. He tied up its hindlegs. He tied up its forelegs. He tied up its horns. He bound it ca—refully to a tree where the man went. "What do you want? Why do you keep stopping me on the trail? And what have I done to you?" said the [young] man. The boy arrived home, "Mother, I left a cow tied up. When you see that it's grown light—it's the one that stops me on the trail—wake me up, but only if it's very early in the morning," he said. "Okay," said the old woman. "Get up, son! It's already light," said his mother. He started out. He came to look. But there was a great blue-skirted woman. Her skirt was the same kind as ours, it seems. A blueskirted woman. She was kneeling there, kneeling with her legs tied up, her arms tied up. She couldn't do anything. Her head was bo—wed. She was tied up well, it seems, where he had left [the cow] tied to the fence post. "Forgive me. I won't do it to you. Untie me! Plea—se, don't you recognize me?" she said to the boy. "Oh, you're a human being?' he said. "And how come last night you barred my way? You stopped me on the path here. [I mean] you stopped a boy on the path here, you know," said the boy. He didn't say it was him. "I'll untie you if you pay [me] a fine of two hundred and fifty [pesos]," said the boy. "If you pay [me] a fine of two hundred and fifty [pesos] I'll untie you, but if not, you can die like this. You'll pay the punishment. Let the whole town see! Because you've been getting away with it. You come to bar people's way. You come to do that. I've just heard the gossip that you stop people. A friend of mine told me about it, that you keep stopping him all the time. One time his hand was hurt. One time his hip was hurt. One time his pants were ripped. One time his shirt was torn!" she was told. "Oh it certainly wasn't me! Who knows what woman [it was]." "If you give me two hundred and fifty [pesos] then I really will untie you, but if not, then rot there with the rope—the rope you're tied up with," he said. "Don't do that, sire. Don't do that. Untie me. Please, sire!" said the woman because she wasn't from Zinacantan Center, it seems.

from San Felipe, it seems. That's why she said "sire." "Do me a big favor, sire, please! Untie me! Those two hundred and fifty [pesos] you want, I can't bring them. I haven't any money. I'm poor." "But what are you doing at nighttime? But why do you have to stop people? You must be guilty of something. That's why you're tied up like this," he said. "If only you would, if you would untie me, then follow right behind me. We'll go. I'll go sell my house and my land because I'm all alone at home. I haven't anyone to order about," she said. "Where is your land? Tell me all about where your house is, your land, then I'll go ask if anyone wants to buy them. Then I'll untie you if I've found an owner for it, someone who will buy it," he told her. "But then I'll still die here for sure!" "Oh, then you'll surely die!" He took his revenge. He didn't untie her. That man returned home. "Oh, I will not tell you where my house is. Be patient for me to tell you where it is. Just follow behind me. I'd like you to untie me," she had said. "Oh, I certainly won't untie you!" The man was still smart. He didn't untie her. If he had untied her, she would have fled! He didn't untie her. He left. He went back. "Let her die of starvation!" he said. An old man came by, too. "What happened to you, girl? What happened to you, woman? Why are you tied up like this?" "I don't know, sire. I don't know. They're making me suffer so because I went out to amuse myself in the dark last night, it seems. I went out to amuse myself. I thought I was going out to have fun. What good was it? See how I was blamed! I'm tied up here." "Oh, but I can't touch you. Don't you see, the townspeople here, I don't know what the magistrate said, but if it's on the magistrate's order, it's best if you die," said the gentleman, too. "Well, if that's all there is to it, then, who cares if [I die] of starvation or what!" she said. It got to be five or six o'clock in the evening. That awful boy just took along his knife. It reached eight or nine o'clock at night when there weren't any more people [around]. He just cut her throat. He killed her. He killed her. He didn't lover her any more. So that's how that deceitful one lo—st! He killed her. She died. Then, when she had died, he left her untied. He abandoned her in a heap. Then he went off.
