316 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 "Wait, Nanita! Wait, Nanita! Wait, Nanita!" answered the horrible Spook. "Where are you going to leave me, son? But I know my house has been left far behind already. I know my house is far away. Where are you leaving me?" That's what the little old lady was screaming. The little old lady's heart was worn out, because she was so terribly old. She fainted with fear. He just arrived and threw her in the cave when he arrived. She slept. The little old lady slept. It was just "Darling, let's sleep together! Darling, eat!" the Spook was trying to say to her. God, the little old lady didn't move now. She was just speechless. At daybreak the next day the little old lady was dead. That horrible Spook went to offer candles. "This is how you tricked me. The little old lady you gave me is dead already. The old woman you gave me. She isn't alive. I just arrived to lay her down in my house. She only said to me, Where are you going to leave me? I told her, Wait, Nanita, I'm going to take you home! Wait, Nanita, I'm going to take you home! I thought she was fine. The little old lady you gave me was already dead. I thought she was alive," said the horrible Spook. He went to tell Johnny. The little old lady he was given was very, very old. The little old lady hadn't the strength to speak anymore. She died of fright. You see how it was, what it was that happened long ago. The way the Spooks asked and asked permission of the saints, it seems. It was just one little old lady that he was given to appease him. Not many were given. The last time he went to ask for one he was given a boy. But the boy was riding a horse. [The Spook] endured the horse's kicking. The boy fell. Then [the Spook] grabbed him and carried him off. The horse was left standing there. That was surely the first time he won. He just went and stuck the boy in a cave. You know another time at the place where clay is dug [for making pottery] an old Chamulan lady was digging clay, it seems. She had a little girl. Her little girl was maybe twelve or fifteen years old or so. "Take your clay, daughter! Go take it home! Knead it a while after you arrive," she told the girl. "All right," said the girl. She was kneading her little bit of clay by the door. But you see, her grandmother hadn't arrived when [the Spook] came whooshing down. She thought it was a buzzard standing there. [The grandmother] arrived at her door. Then she saw that the poor girl had been taken off. [The Spook] went. He carried her off. "Just stay there, girl, just stay there! We've returned home now. See which chicken you'll eat. [Do you want] to eat the black hen or [do you want] "Esperate, nanita, esperate, nanita, esperate, nanita!" xi la ti yil j7ik'al 7une. "Bu chba 7avak'on 7un, kerem, pero 7a ti jna 7une, nat xa me kom chka7i 7un, nom xa me ti jna chka7i 7une, bu chakomeson 7un?"

to eat the barred one? See which one! Kill it! Then put aside my share for me. I'll come back to eat. As for me, I'm going to bring food for us," said the horrible Spook. "All right," answered the girl. But she was upset, stuck in a deep cave. She cooked her meal. She had pots, bowls, gourds, whatever [she needed] to prepare her meal. She prepared it. She ate. But you know [the Spook] just ate meat, not tortillas, not the things we eat. He just had meat. They ate. They ate the meat. The Spook arrived. He had carried off a crate of bread. "Here is the bread for your meal. Cook your meal! Eat! You have nothing to worry about. Please don't be sad!" he said. But you see, on the third night after her arrival the girl had a child. A little baby Spook was born. As for the baby Spook, the woman took sick [because of him]. The woman told how her child was born, the little baby Spook, it seems. "Nanita! Nanita!" that's how the baby Spook talked. Who knows if it grew up in one night. Hm! Who knows how the Spook grew up to talk that way. The girl was frightened by it. "Why does my child talk like this? Why does it say Nanital My <strong>Lo</strong>rd, but can it be some kind of dirty business? Could his father be a devil?" she said. For the poor girl didn't know what it was that had carried her off. You see when hunters passed by on the trail, "Hoo heigh, come take me out! <strong>Lo</strong>ok at me, because I'm helpless. I'm sick now. I don't want to be here anymore. The cold is terrible. I'm suffering terribly from the cold where I am. I hadn't any [warm] clothes when I was brought here. Who are you?" she asked. "Is it you, uncle?" "It's me, niece. What do you want, for I've come looking for you?" asked the gentleman. "What do you have to tell me, niece?" "I came here. I'm sick. I have a child now. It's the child of the man I came with. Take me out, uncle!" "Wait, I'll get my lasso, I'll get it. I'll get you out on condition, niece, that your husband isn't there. He'd kill us. [We'll get you out on condition] that he doesn't shoot us," said the [other] Chamulans. "No uncle, he's gone to bring bread for us to eat. Don't be afraid, uncle! Don't be afraid! Please take me away, uncle, because I'm already beginning to swell here in the frightful cold, uncle. Please may the Holy Virgin enter thy beautiful heart, uncle. Take me away!" "Grab the lasso, tie it around your waist! Grab the end of it!" he told her. He threw his lasso down [to TONIK NIBAK te xanak'bon jrasyon, te chul ve7ikon, 7a li vo7one chba jsa7 tal jve7eltik," xi la ti mu j7ik'ale. 317 "7Ey," xi la ti tzeb 7une.
