336 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 [Our Lord] passed by another town. [The devil] was about to come now. It was just a minute before the devil would arrive on the trail. "Oh, what can I do now?" said Our Lord. "But who knows if maybe I make some soap. Then the trail will be very slippery. Let's see if he's delayed a bit," said Our Lord. He tossed a cake of black soap [on the trail]. Maybe that's what made [the trail] muddy. But the trail was terribly slippery. But [the devil] was delayed a bit by it. [Our Lord] wasn't overtaken. Our Lord wasn't reached on the trail. A little later, [Our Lord] continued. He went some distance. He was just about to be overtaken again. "Well, what can we do? It would be better if we left some thread [on the trail]," he said. He tossed a ball of thread. It turned into fog. It grew dark. It closed in, the way clouds do. It grew dark. The [devil] was distracted a bit. The next day, our Lord continued for a long way. He had gone far. He wasn't overtaken. He wasn't caught. The ruses in Christ's magic flight are similar to those employed in two other Zinacantec tales of undoubtedly European origin (T18, T163). A Tepehua version of St. Joseph's flight has Mary toss a cake of soap onto the path, with the same muddy [Rabbit] went to a cave. He had his little guitar. "What's new, Uncle Tiger?" he said to the tiger. "What's new, what's new, friend?" the rabbit was asked. "Now today," said [Rabbit], "The king is having a party," he said. "But if you want, let's dance now," he said. "Because the party is on now, the king's party," he said. "Well, is that so?" said Tiger. "Yes. Well, I'll play my little guitar and you dance," he said. "All right. Play then and I'll dance," said [Tiger]. When [Rabbit] played his guitar, in a minute, [Tiger] did turn after turn. He spun around. It was Tiger who danced. He was hit from behind, and he died from it. He died from it. [Rabbit] skinned him and went to give [the skin] to the king. He went to sell the skin. It was a lie he told, that he was to be given a girl. He just lied when he said that the king was having a fiesta.

"I'm to be given a wife. Do you want her?" Rabbit [had] asked. "I am to be given a girl," he'd said. "Well, I can take her," Tiger [had] said. "I'll take her myself if you don't want her." "I certainly don't want her, because I'm so little," said Rabbit. The bastard is tricky, tricky, so clever. Even now, when you see one, it can't be caught. When you see it, it runs off quickly. It goes. That's just how it is. Even now. Because it's so clever. Not just in olden times, for it's stayed that way ever since. You think a rabbit can be caught, it can't be caught! Even with bullets it's hard to kill. "Ah, all right then," Tiger [had] said. [Rabbit] arrived at the king's house. "Sir, I have come here." "I want another one now," [the king] said. Now it was the coyote skin. "I want one of a coyote," he said. Rabbit went to talk to [Coyote]. Coyote doesn't know how to dance at all. He doesn't know how. He just went in circles, so [Rabbit] stealthily hit him from behind. He killed him from behind. He hit his friend with a stick so that he would die from it. Since Rabbit had his little club. So when [Rabbit] killed him, another skin went, too. It was bought. [Rabbit] was paid for the skin that he went to give, it seems. The king had a fiesta. [Rabbit] was given his pay. It was given to him. He was paid for the skin. Now he came with his money. You see, when he took the money, he went to pay [the brideprice] for a girl. He paid it for the girl, but it wasn't even enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. "Skip it then, skip it! I don't want a girl very much anyway. I'm too little," he said. That's how the story ends. It may be stretching the definition of chi7il a bit to call Rabbit, Coyote's "friend!" Perhaps "companion" is more appropriate. Once more Rabbit plays the trickster, protesting his small size—just as in the standard rabbit-coyote cycle—but I am Once the world was flooded by water. It was flooded with water, because the people were so awful, said [Our Lord]. Because they ate their children. They ate their children. Our Lord, he gave forty days of rain. The world was flooded. They were very bad. They ate their children. So they just disappeared. The people's seed was lost.
