400 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 But before they covered it—"Don't open it for me for three days!" he said. But they opened it before the three days were up. They looked. He was just being transformed. Then he died once and for all. That's how he ended. He ended like that. That's how I've heard it. Rey's version of "The King and the Ring" elaborates more fully on the ring's recovery and corroborates Xun 7Akov's I've heard a few words about the Flood. The people of long ago, it seems, as we, ourselves, call them. . . . There was a flood. But there were some who shut themselves up with wood, it seems, as we say. They shut themselves up [in a boat], as we say. The water didn't get in. [The boat] floated, it would float on the river, as we say, on top of the water, as we say. Some didn't die. They were [to become] the monkeys. It was when there was a flood, as we say. Some shut themselves up. Our Lord came when the water dried up, as we say. Our Lord in Heaven came. "What did you eat?" asked Our Lord when he arrived. "What did you eat [so that] you survived?" he asked. Those awful [people who soon would turn into] monkeys were mad, as we say. They were angry. "We ate nuts. We ate vine berries," they said. They said it angrily. "Ah!" they were told. "Well, go eat them, then!" they were told. So they turned into monkeys. Then they ate vine berries and nuts. They didn't eat corn anymore. That's what happened to them. And the magpie jay. He was an ensign-bearer. He was in office. That's why he has a crest, as we say. And the awful roadrunner, he was a person, too. But the trouble was, he turned into a bird, because he didn't tell properly how he had survived. Since he said that, "I ate nuts, I ate rock berries," that's why he eats berries forever. That's how it turned out. He became a bird, and so forth, it seems. That's how it was. Yes! [What was the roadrunner?] He was a musician, indeed! The roadrunner. As for the ensign-bearer bird, as we say, he was an ensign-bearer. He was in office. That's why his clothing is blue, you see. That's all. That's the way it was. That's all. That's all, it seems. I have translated nab as "river," but it can mean any large expanse of water. The story of Noah's Ark is combined with the clearly pre-Columbian account of the Sun's encounter with the survivors.

The magpie-jay, an extremely noisy bird, is given a different origin by Romin Teratol, who reports its transformation after its betrayal of Christ to the Jews (T8). Its blue plumage is likened to the blue cloak worn by the ensign-bearers, officials of the third
ank of the religious hierarchy. Its crest derives from the black felt hats topped with a peacock feather and worn by those officials. There was a woman. That woman went to leave some tortillas for her husband, as we say. But then a fucking bear appeared. That woman was carried off to his cave. She was naked there, since she hadn't any clothes anymore. Just berries were what the poor woman ate. His child was born. That child of his had legs like that bear's, his face was a human's. He was a boy. It was a boy that was born. Since, you see, his mother was naked. . . . That bear grew. "Mother, how come we don't leave?" "Can you open the door?" Since the door was a rock, you see. "Can you open it?" "I guess I'll try," he said. He tried. He moved that door a ti—ny bit. "Well, I guess I'll grow for three days, then. We'll see, we'll see if I've grown strong," he said. [When] the three days were up, for him to grow, as we say, he moved it more. He could move it more. Another three days passed, too. It was nearly opened. It [nearly] came out for good, indeed. Another three days passed, too. It came out. It came out. "Let's go right away, then, mother!" he said. Ooh, they left. But the fucking bear came. Hell, he stopped at the edge of the town. He was about to drag off that wife of his. But she had already entered the town. But she was simply naked. She simply hadn't any clothes. That awful boy was the same, too. He was naked, you see. He hadn't any clothes either, you see. Her [bear] husband went. He still went to get her. But somebody had already taken his place. Already [she had] another [husband], too. She was probably treated kindly, as we say. She was given a skirt, as we say. She told, it seems, how she had been abducted long ago, as we say. "It doesn't matter," said [her new husband]. That boy of hers grew. He grew. She put him in school. But the guy learned ri—ght away. Now his other friends didn't learn. Those other friends of his were beaten by the teachers. That bear's child was well-liked [by the teachers]. He kept being called "Pig's Foot" [by the boys]. He kept being called "Pig's Foot." That bear child lost his REY KOMIS 401 The Bear's Son T164 The roadrunner, also a vociferous bird, has so mournful a call that it is named k'uxjol, "headache."
