256 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 impossible to walk on the ground. Look, my leg got hurt right at the start," said the man. He went back [up]. "Forget it, forget it! Didn't I tell you? Don't go yet! Didn't I say that?" she said. He returned. "I'll wait now one or two days, otherwise I'd just be going off to kill myself," he said. "That's better, what's there to lose? Then we'll go and see how it is," she said. He came [down] when the stated time was up. The man came [down]. He opened the first house. It was filled with water. It was flooded with water. He was soaked. But the smell, it stu—nk terribly where people had died. He broke in with a club or a rock or something. That's how he opened the houses. Don't you see, the doors had swollen from the water. "I shouldn't have come [down]. It wasn't worth it. The earth stinks horribly!" he said. He saw how the water ca—me out when he opened ... I don't know if it was three or four houses that he opened. "Never mind, I'll wait for the rain[y season] to end. The trees here are [still] heavily foliaged," he said. He was si— tting there. He lit his little fire. He warmed up his tortillas. He ate, and after he finished eating, and finished his tortillas, he slept there. He didn't return, because the trail was very slippery. He couldn't go back to where he had been, it seems, since the mountain he had to climb was steep. He slept there. [The next day he went back up the mountain.] "What did you go for? You shouldn't have gone, you should have waited until the earth had finished drying out properly, you hear! I was right, the houses are filled with water. What good did you do by going?" [his wife said the next day]. "Yes, you're certainly right. It's absolutely impossible to rest, because of the smell inside the awful house. It stinks ho—rribly," said the man. He told [his] wife. "Never mind, then, wait until the earth has finished drying out properly. [Wait until] you see that it's good and dry. It's useless for our livestock to leave—whatever animals are [still left]," she said. "The raven is still coming to take us," she said. The raven went when the earth seemed dry enough, when it was dry, when you could walk easily. Don't you see, it looked to see if it no longer left footprints where it was good and dry now. The bird went to tell them. "It's fine now. It's dry now. You had told me to come take you. I've come to take you. Go see for yourself. The [mud] is well-cracked in the houses that were closed up," it said. "As for the others, just the tips of their roofs show. They're just buried in mud," it said. "Ah," he said. "How many of the houses are still good?" he asked. koke," xi la ti vinik 7une. Sut ech'el 7un. "Yiyilyiyil! mi mu lakalbe che7e? Mu to chabatl Mi mu xakut che7e?" xi la 7un.

"There are still maybe six or seven good ones," it said. "Those that had strong walls," it said. "Ah," he said. "Never mind, I'm going to look," he said. He came [back down]. He looked at all the houses. In one house he found, I don't know if it was seventy pesos, seventy solid pesos. The money of long ago. In another house [he found] twenty-two. In another house [he found] fifteen, in another ten. He just found money. "But My Lord, I can't live on this. But My Lord the amount I've found isn't enough for me alone. What can I subsist on?" he said. "It's true I still have corn. I still have wheat to eat. But if it runs out what can I live on?" he said. Since he had two girls and two boys and a baby. The baby grew. I don't know if it had reached four years [of age] or what when its mother took sick. She got sick, because she ate banana roots or fern roots or wild yam roots or whatever it was she ate. She began to swell from it. The woman swelled up. Her face was this bi—g. Her belly was horribly big like this. The poor thing was horribly bloa—ted. She died. She died. The man was left by himself. "God, what can my children eat now? What can I do about it? I haven't any corn. My corn has run out. I have no seed corn. I haven't found any. What do you think I can do, holy raven? What do you think I can plant? I haven't any corn," he said. "You haven't any corn?" asked the raven. "None at all!" he said. "Shush up! There are two bins of corn there at Hoi Na Joj [Upper Raven House]," it said. "There's yellow there," it said. "There's white there," it said. "There's black there," it said. "There's red there," it said. "I'll go steal one ear apiece from there for your seed corn," it said. "That's where I eat myself when I haven't anything at all to eat. So I'll go take them out from there," it said. "Please do then, because when this runs out I won't have anything to live on. My children won't have anything to live on," he said. "Okay," it said. After it had taken out each ear, an ear of each kind of corn, it went to give them to him. "Here is your seed corn," it said each time as it carried off each ear [one by one] in its beak and went to give them to that man. "See, here is your seed corn," it said. "All right. Thank you," he said. "I'm going to bring you the other kinds," it said. Again it carried off [the corn in its beak] in just the same way. It came again to give [the corn] to him. It went to bring the next ear. It just went to give [the corn] to him again. When [the number] was completed, "See, here is your seed corn.
