306 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 When he prepared his corn field he went to amuse himself in the town. He met a girl on the trail, How are you, girl? I long to enjoy your company. I long to talk to you. I see you are beautiful. The girls in my home aren't like you. The women in my home aren't like you. Your back seems different. Your side seems different. I long to enjoy your company. What does your heart feel? Do you want us to get married? that man told the girl. What do you think? "Ah, you want to talk to me, but are you a real man? Are your pants wellfastened? Are you brave? Are you telling the truth that you will speak to me sincerely? Only with the understanding that you have thought it out well, that you have planned it very well, that you want to speak to me, that you want to marry me, go wait for me in the meadow where we talk to our fiances. For that is the place where we talk together, those of us who have fiances here," said that girl. But you see, "If you are telling the truth, if you respond to my reasoning, to what I have been telling you, if it is for sure, I'll go and wait for you. I can go and wait for you," said that man. The girl left. "Be sure to wait for me there, because I have to go in a hurry now, because I'm going home," she said. "All right, then, I'll wait for you there." "I'm going to wait for you where the meadow is. Haven't you seen it there by the little path leading out of town, here where our houses are?" she said. "Okay, I'm going to wait for you there," he said. He left. He went, sat down, and waited, looking up and down. It reached ten o'clock in the morning, it seems. He was still sitting there. He was sick and tired of waiting for her now. He thought it would just be a person who would arrive. He thought it would be a girl, the girl, who would arrive. But you see he didn't know that that girl would come [transformed into] a cow. Then he saw it. The black cow arrived, glistening beautifully. It's horns were terribly long. Because the girl had long hair, its horns were long. What do you think? The cow was tossing its head from side to side and raising it again and again wonderfully. It was maybe a half block from that man, tossing its head again and again. Before that man knew it, he was lifted up into the sky. He landed way off with a thud. The awful man was very scared. But you see, "I thought that the girl who was Va7i 7un, ti k'al 7ismeltzan xchob 7une, ba la paxyajuk taj ta jtek-lum 7une, snup la ta be jun tzeb 7un.

coming was a good [person], My Lord!" he said. He picked himself up. The cow went back. That man never was able to talk to her. It went back. It went home. So the man was disabled. You see the man picked himself up. Now he was a woman. He wasn't a man any longer. The awful cow went back. It turned into a man. It left [transformed into] a man. "But how can it be?" said the man. He went to his corn field. He went. He ate. He felt sick at heart when he arrived to eat, it seems—in his corn field where he was working. "What can I do now, My Lord!" he said in his heart. "Why is it? I shouldn't have gone to talk to the awful woman, I shouldn't have gone to talk to the awful girl. I wouldn't be feeling so disgusting, My Lord. What can I do about it? I think I'd better tie up one or two almuds of corn. I think I'll get it ready and carry it [back]. I'll make a pretense [of taking my corn]. I'll go home and admit it. I don't know what to do. If only there were somebody I could ask about it. But I can't ask my friend at work about it, or he'll just go and rub it in. I'm ruined. I've turned into a woman forever," said the awful man. But you see he came back home carrying two almuds of corn. He was spoken to by his wife. "Are you there?" he asked his wife. "I'm here," she said. "Ah!" he said. "Have you come back? You weren't supposed to come back yet. You were supposed to return on Thursday," said [his] wife. "I've come back, of course. I've come to leave two almuds of corn for you," he said. "I'm a bit hungry," he said. "Eat!" he was told. He was given his meal. He finished eating. "I'll be back. I'm going to talk to our compadre there on the other side," he said. He went to talk to his compadre. It wasn't just his compadres, because in the end he went to look for whomever he could converse with so that he could ask them, "Hasn't it ever happened to you? Haven't you ever talked to a woman. Haven't you ever gone crazy from it? Because I myself went crazy in Totolapa. "What do you think? The awful girl arrived. I spoke to her. She arrived. It wasn't a human being who arrived, it was a great big cow that arrived. It came and lifted my ass up, but I landed way off," said the man. "But that wasn't at all smart of you! Why did you do that? What business was it of yours to do such a stupid thing? The Totolapa people are very bad. It isn't as if they are good [people]. You can't talk to them. Figure it out! See where that girl's house is. That's all I can say. Who knows how it stands, it TONIK NIBAK 307 xtale, kajval!" xi la 7un.
