242 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 "That's all, then, take your wife. Go with her! Be kind to her! Thank you, may God repay you for carrying my son back to me. Well, take your wife. Your wife is your pay, that's all, because if my son were to die I wouldn't have anyone to keep me company. Because my son is my constant travelling companion wherever I go. I walk first, my son walks right behind me," he said. "Ah!" said [the boy]. "All right then, I'll come tell you how things are going. I'll come and visit you. Your daughter and I will visit you," he said. "All right, come back! If you haven't any money, if you haven't any corn, if you haven't anything to eat, come back. Come and ask for it here. You've seen now that I have money. You've seen now that I have corn. I don't go hungry here. Come and ask. Even if she comes by herself, send my daughter. It's just that my house is far away. You won't reach my house quickly," he said. "Yes, you're right of course!" said [the boy]. "No, I'll come, even if I have to spend a night here when I come," he said. "All right, come then," said [Thunderbolt]. He didn't return. He left on good terms. He didn't return. The poor woman had children. They grew up. Her children were big now. Her children were baptized. He had never hit her. Then he went and got dru—nk. He drank with his compadre. He went and hit her. She went and complained about it. I don't know what it was that caused the man to die. I don't remember very well anymore how it goes. She left. She went. He died. He hit his wife. That woman went to complain. "Where did you go?" he asked. "I went to our father's house. I went to spend the night. I went to sleep with our father, so you wouldn't hit me," she said. "Oh, I hit you, but it was because I got drunk. You don't think I would hit you for nothing! But I hardly hit you at all, just once," he said. "My hand didn't hurt," he said. "Your hand didn't hurt! It's just that now my eye is so wonderfully blue!" The poor woman was very blue here. "Oh, but never mind, you shouldn't have gone to tell our father. Would it please our father, since he has said he would kill me if I hit you once?" he said. "Never mind, go talk to our father! As for me, I don't know," she said. "See here, I'm going to talk to him tomorrow, then," he said. He left. He went to talk to his fatherin-law. "Father!" he said. "Come, come in ! Won't you eat?" said [his fatherin-law]. "Come on, let's eat,"—I don't know if it was fish or what they ate—"Let's eat some fish," he Va7i 7un, 7a li "Mu k'usi 7un che7e, 7ik'o ch'el lavajnile, batan 7achi7uk 7un, k'uxubino me 7un, 7a li jkreme, kol aval sk'extabot riox ti 7akuchbon tale, bweno, 7ik'o ch'el lavajnil, ja7 7atojol lavajnil a7a, mu k'usi porke 7a ti chamuk i jkreme che7e, mu xa buch'u jchi7in, yu7un ja7 jchi7il ta j-mek ta xanbal i jkreme, ti bu chixanav i vo7one, ba7yi chixanav vo7on, ja7 tijil chanav i jkreme," xi la 7un.

said. The piece of fish was this big, fresh fish. They ate. "I've brought you a little of this folded up in a tortilla. I stuck it in my net," said the man when he returned [home]. "I know when my father wants to eat. I'll go eat with him. You should have eaten it. You should eat it," she said. "I still don't want any because I just went yesterday," he said. "Ah," she said. "Never mind, the children will eat it," she said. "Please don't hit her. Please don't scold her. Please don't bother her," [said the father]. "I don't hit her, father. What's to be done? It's just because I went and got drunk," said the man. "Oh well, then," said [the father]. [The man] went to the lowlands. He came back sick. The man died. They buried him. The people gathered. They killed chickens. She bought a coffin for her husband. He died. Yes! After she buried her husband, then, it seems, "Father, but things aren't right. My husband died. I don't want to be alone there with my children. It would be better if I came back, if I came to join you, for I'm alone with . . . It's just because you gave me away long ago. It's just because of my older brother who got sick and was carried back, it seems. But he suffered so. I'm left with two children. My little girl and my little boy stayed home. They can be there now since that leaves an owner for the land and an owner for the house. They can grow up there now. Do you know what I do, father?" she said. "I have a little pot this big. They turn it upside down and rap on it several times. I'm hungry, mother. I'm hungry, mother, they tell their pot. Eat! it says. Their beans and their tortillas come out of it. That's what the children live on. That's what I taught them." "Ah!" he said. "That pot of your's, where did you get it?" he asked. "From here, I took it from home," she said. "Ah!" he said. "Did you ask your mother for it?" he said. "Of course I asked my mother for it. Take it! It can be used by the children to live on, my mother told me." "Ah, never mind, leave the children. You can go see them when you aren't busy. Come!" said her father. "Okay!" said the woman. She left. She began her work again. She was Thunderbolt again, it seems. She left. That dead Chamulan man's children were left by themselves. They grew up, a girl and a boy. Oh, they were TONIK NIBAK 243 bek'tal choye, yaxal choy la 7un, chve7ik 7un.
