354 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 talk to the fish," said the dog. He talked to the fish. "Please bring it to me. There is a ring that fell in the water. Bring it to me! You, you're used to water. But me, I'm not used to being in the water," said the little dog. "Well, okay," said the fish. He was able to rea—ch it in the water. The fish found the ring in the water so he gave it to the little dog. Now the little dog went to deliver it to its owner. Now he went off with the ring clutched in his teeth. But he went to give it to its owner. When the owner received the ring, then the money appea—red again in quantities. That's how it turned out. He remained rich because of it—as much as he had. He stayed rich. [But] for Zinacantan Center, that was all the soul [of the money] here in Zinacantan Center. So the town here was left penniless. The money left. The soul of the money left, it seems. But if it was here that it appeared [again], then the town would be rich. Manvel's "The King and the Ring" joins the chorus of statements that explain to the Zinacantecs why they no longer Ninab 7Atz'am [Salt Spring] once had good salt, long ago. But you see it's brown-grained salt. The reason [the people of] Zinacantan Center don't work it is because the cave, the salt, wanted to take half the town for servants. Then they could work the salt. They didn't accept that. So it was left. Horses just drink there. When horses go there they eat it. There isn't anyone who works the salt. They tried it out at the time when the epidemic passed, long ago. They tested it. They boiled it in a pot, in a little pot. It yielded one bowl of salt, but it was brown-grained salt. It was brown. It was Romin [Teratol's] grandfather who boiled it. It yielded a bowl of salt. But not much crystallized, the salt just disappeared. There was [practically] no salt. It was when there was so much sickness. Then they produced it that way. They saw what the salt was like. But there's no one who wants to mine it. Don't you see, it's no one's work. It was just left like that. Just horses drink it there, that's all. The well is abandoned now. It's gone. It's just a mudhole now. You can't tell where it was. See also T83 and notes.

There used to be a long-haired person, long ago. But he would hold up [people] all the time there at the Crossroads as we call it. There is a cave there that the mules passed. That <strong>Lo</strong>ng Hair stripped them of all the baggage. He had long hair. He stripped them there. He strippped them there of everything, absolutely everything. The cave was already filled with nothing but baggage, everything, muslin, clothing of all kinds, everything. Whatever there was, if salt or fish or anything else came up, it all filled that place there inside the cave. Once there were three of our countrymen, elders. They went. They reached on their trips, they reached Tabasco, they reached Tonala. They carried tobacco there. They went to sell it in the lowlands. They were stripped there. They were stripped by that devil. He stripped them. They asked each other, "Can you do anything? Isn't there anything you can do? Why don't we see if our packs get confiscated," they said. "Oh, you, can you do anything?" said [one]. "Me, I can be Thunderbolt." "Me, Whirlwind and Rain," said [the other]. "Well, but let's fight. If we fight can't we attack him, then?" they said. "Eh, but it's still not right if we attack him, because if it's by government order that he blocks the road like this .... It's much better if we go and ask, if we ask, request, request permission to attack him," he said. "Let's go!" they said. They went to ask. "Well, have you declared it, sir? Have you declared that the road be closed so that baggage can't pass through at all? Or what?" "Well, there's nothing you can do about it. Soldiers have gone to look, but the soldiers didn't do any good," said the governor. "But we, we'll see how to open the road if it's possible," they said. "Oh, you can, why not? Fight, [see] if there's anything you can do. Take your present!" they were told. They were given money. They were given money already. "Do [us] the favor then. If you can open the road, open it! See what it's like, I guess, what you can do about it, if you are successful," said [the governor]. "We'll see if we can open it. Then the news [of it] will come," they said. "Well, let's fight!" they said. They attacked him with a machete. The machete didn't penetrate since his hair was so long. Then the other one, the other one began. He started. He started to turn himself into a Whirwind.
