268 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 that reference means. The suspense is sustained even beyond the tale's end with Tonik's admission that you still hear of Spooks existing in what we would call "hard hat zones," where, as her Zinacantec audience knows, they are reputed to be in league with the engineers, providing victims to fuel the machinery and to strengthen the cement foundations of bridges and power The king long ago, then, had children. He had sons, it seems—I think—two people who guarded the door. The two people, his children, were called Prince or Princess, something like that, I think. There was one princess. The princess bathed with her father and the wife of the Indian king, as we say. She didn't bathe once a day—three times! She bathed three times a day. The King and the Clever Thief T143 Now, once at, I don't know if it was at nine o'clock or what, once at one o'clock, once at seven in the evening. She bathed. She undressed. The clothes that she took off, her servants put on. The servants wore them. Now if there was somebody who committed a crime, if there was somebody who had gotten into trouble, if there was somebody who was bad—there just used to be kings, there weren't courthouses. There wasn't anything [else], it seems. It was just the king who settled [disputes]. Now the king meted out punishment. There was a well. There was a Lion Well, as I think it was called long ago. Lion Well. [The guilty person] would go to draw the water and bring it back. [The king] had him make three trips. If he could draw it three times, fine! But if he was killed there by lions, there he stayed. The poor thing died there. There was a man who went. He was given three trips to go and draw it. He didn't return. He died there. Yes! He had committed a crime, he had stolen, or something I think—that poor guy. Just the same way another one was se—nt off. He went, indeed! This one was certainly clever! He went. He went to draw it. First, he went to loo—k very quietly, but his feet didn't make a sound when he stepped. He drew a gallon of water. When it came up out from there, from the edge of the well, it seems .... It was probably deep since he was pulling it up like this. He was setting it down at the edge of the well. He saw that that awful beast that was lying there when he pulled up [the can] was about to move. Then he too—k to his feet. Ooh, he came back quickly. He hurried back. He thought it would come [after him]. But you see, it never came. plants. A similar allusion is made to bridge supports in a Tenejapan tale of the Spook, when describing the dangers of women leaving their houses alone in the morning to defecate (Stross, 1973, Tl). See also T23, T67, T71, T122, T145, and their notes. 7A ti rey vo7nee che7e, ja7 ti 7oy xch'amaltak 7oy skremotik ya7el chava7i 7une, cha7-vo7 7a li chchabi ti7 na, 7a li cha7-vo7 mi Prinsipe mi Prinses k'usi sbi chka7i li xch'amaltak 7une. 7O la jun prinsesa 7un, 7a ti prinsesa 7une ja7 la ch7atin 7un xchi7uk stot 7un, xchi7uk i yajnil ti 7intio rey chkaltik 7une, ja7 li mu7nuk j-7ech'eluk ch7atin ta k'ak'al, 7ox-lok'el, 7ox-lok'el ch7atin ta k'ak^al. 7Ora, j-7ech'el ta, ja7 mu jna7 mi ta baluneb 7ora k'usi xi, j-7ech'el ta jun 7ora, j-7ech'el ta syete de la tarde, ja7 ta x7atin 7un tzlok' i sk'u7 7une.

That was the first trip. On the second it was just the same. He succeeded. He took it when [the lion was] asleep again. On the second trip. On the third trip he had a hard time now coming back. It wouldn't sleep at all. It would lift its head. It would lie down. Lift its head, lie down. Yes! It wouldn't sleep. It wouldn't sleep. As for the man, "God, My Lord what can I do about this now? It's the last [time], now. The last [time]. Now am I to die, now am I to perish?" he said in the middle of the path. He knelt down in the middle of the path. He folded his hands. He prayed to Our Lord. He prayed to Our Lord in Heaven, it seems. How is it, My Lord, Now will my skull be left here, Will my bones be left here? This cannot be, This cannot happen, it seems, Beneath Thy feet, Beneath Thy hands, My Lord. I do not wish to die, I do not wish to perish, it seems. Because I wish to step beneath Thy feet, To step beneath Thy hands. It seems I cannot die. It seems I cannot perish. I wish to survive, I wish to live still on the earth. It isn't as if I were old now. If I were old now, Never mind, I would surely die. But as it is, I still long to enjoy The place beneath Thy feet, Beneath Thy hands. I do not wish to die, it seems. I like it, it seems, The way I walk, I journey. I still long to enjoy my back. I long to enjoy my side, Wherever I walk, Wherever I journey, [Where] I go down, [Where] I go up. I still search for Thy cross, I still search for Thy reflection, For a way to eat, For a way to drink. May my skull not [remain] here, May my bones not [remain] here, With one of Thy beasts One of Thy tigers. Ooh, he spoke on and on, how it was where he was, kneeling there in the middle of the path, his hands folded. Yes! He faced East, he faced West. He faced to the East, it seems, to the West, it seems, as we say. He prayed to Our Lord. He prayed to Our Lord, in all four directions, it seems.
