298 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 will be able to get your clothes. You will be able to get your material. You will be able to travel wherever your hearts desire. You will be able to enter Guatemala. Don't say you won't enter. You will be able to enter there. You will get your money. You will look for your pennies the way [I do when] I come to your country, it seems. Just so long as you pay the twenty-five pesos for a gourdful, the price of the remedy. That medicine that I will bring you is fine powder," he said. "What is it, what kind of medicine could it be? What is it called?" they asked. "It isn't called anything at all. I'll let you know what its name is when I have prepared it and brought it. We'll talk together then." "Twenty-five is its price, but give it to me on credit, because I haven't that much money." "Ah no, if it's bought it is twenty-five, but if it's on credit it's fifty," said the medicine-seller. "Well, when are you coming?" "I'm coming in a week," he said. "You'll take your medicine and go in this direction. Get your load ready! When I arrive [I expect] to find your load ready. You'll see. You'll try it out. You'll see if you don't win. I'll teach you what to do. I'll prepare twenty-five staves for you, too!" said the salt merchant. The salt merchant prepared them. He cut the twenty-five staves and brought them. He brought a gourdful of that medicine. "You do it like this! You fix it like this! You hold it in your fist like this! You wrap it up like this! You slip it in your waist like this! Now when you see them approaching, Let them come to kill me, [let them] do whatever their hearts desire! you say to [the remedy], if the highwaymen have come out," he said to [one of] them. "Fine!" said the [Tenejapan] gentleman. He took it. He wrapped it up. He slipped it in his waist. When he was about to have that machete whishing at him, then he tossed that remedy at him. "I'll give it to you, too!" [the Tenejapan] just told him, it seems. But you see [at first] he didn't menace him with those staves. Then he scattered that medicine at him. But you see the awful murderer was thrashing about now. He landed way off on his back. He picked himself up. He was rolling about, trying to get on his knees. He couldn't stand up. [Then] he simply got a terrific beating with the staves. That's what he was given. That man traveled again. He traveled maybe half a league, or not as much as half a league. Then he met up with another who came out in a fury, rushing out, menacing him with his awful bow and arrow as he came out. He was about to shoot him quickly when that [Tenejapan] man grabbed away [the bow]. latak'inike, chasa7 lamerioik chak k'u cha7al lavi chital 117 talumalik ya7ele, ja7 nox skwenta mi xatoj ti vo7ob xcha7-vinik pexu j-p'ej tzue, stojol li pox 7une, 7unen p'up' taj pox chakich'be tale," xi la 7un.

But you see, the poor man wasn't hit in the leg. Then that man grabbed [the medicine], held it and tossed it at him, too. Ooh, he landed way off, on his knees. He couldn't do anything now. He had no strength left in his arm. He was helpless. One of his arrows landed way off. Another of his arrows landed way off. [The <strong>Lo</strong>ng Hair] didn't move now. He intended to shoot his bow twice, of course, but he didn't win. Then that second [<strong>Lo</strong>ng Hair] died, too. [The man] just attacked him with those staves. That awful Tenejapan arrived there in Simohovel from whatever was the name of that land where he went. "How did you do it, merchant? How did you enter? How were you able to clear the road by yourself? How did you get past all the highwaymen? How did you win? One of my customers, a gentleman like you, died. How come you were able to clear the road? What medicine [did you use]? What kind of medicine did you have to win, because there are so many highwaymen here on our roads?" asked the Simojovel man. "It's not much. It's because we have some medicine. I paid a hundred and fifty for it, but just this much was given to me for a hundred and fifty. But see how many staves I was given, and so I win with my staves," said the gentleman. The Tenejapan sold it then. He gave the one wad of his medicine for a hundred and fifty. When he returned he had no more worries. You see, then he asked the owner of the remedy— he asked him for another twenty-five staves. The man from Zinacantan Center who gave them, sold them for ten pesos. He asked ten pesos for them. The other [man] asked a higher price when he sold them. He cleared the road. He went, it seems. It was long ago that the highwaymen died. But the highwaymen weren't afraid, no they weren't because if someone came, they grabbed their hair and covered their faces with it. They covered their faces like this so they wouldn't be recognized. No one recognized who they were, or where the highwaymen came from. The highwaymen, too ... we had clever eyes, too. We were the first to scatter that "chief," as we call it, at them. Now the "chief," they didn't know what it was. "What does the plant look like? What does the remedy look like? How does it grow? Does it have a trunk? Do you add anything to it?" [the Tenejapan] was asked by a Ladina. "I don't know. I bought it, too. It was prepared for me, too. A salt merchant there in the town of Zinacantan sells it," he said. "Ooh, but I'll buy some from him, too. I'll pay him whatever you say. Buy [me] some! I'll take any amount," said the Ladina.
