34 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 They went to bed. John Skin didn't get sleepy at all. He paced there. He paced back and forth there. "Come on, go to bed, Johnny! Come on, let's go to sleep! Come on, let's get together!" said the girl. "Oh, wait a minute, I'll go to bed," said John Skin. He walked there, pacing back and forth inside the house. He didn't get sleepy. "Come on, hurry up, Johnny. Let's go to sleep!" said the girl, because she wanted her husband to join her. "Oh, I can't. Wait a bit! I'll be there in a minute," said John. "Well, see here, then, Johnny, I'll tell you openly. Are you prepared, then? Because a serpent is coming. Because we are going to die now. It's too late, because it's already coming here to eat us," said the girl. "Ah!" said John. "Is a serpent coming, then?" he asked. "A serpent is coming, because it arrives every midnight. At midnight it comes here. Because it comes wanting food. So I lure it in the way I brought you. I'm telling you openly," said the girl. "Oh hell, so I was tricked into coming, then! It wasn't with your word of honor that I was to marry you," said John. "No, the serpent comes to eat people. Now, as it is, we are [both] going to die," said the girl. The girl cried and cried now. "Well, don't worry, child. I guess we'll see if I'm up to it. Then if I've won I'll go tell your father in the morning," said John. "Fine!" she said. "Please don't cry!" said John. "I won't," said the girl. "But can you win? Because it has survived [everything]. Soldiers came again and again [but] it survived the bullets. It didn't die. It can't be killed with bullets. They tried and tried," said the girl. "Just the same, I guess I'll see for myself," said John Skin. "But only if you love me with all your heart," said John. "With all my heart, darling, if you mean you'll take me forever, too," said the girl. "Oh, we'll see, I guess. The important thing is— exactly what time will it arrive?" he asked. "Right at midnight," she said. "Good!" he said. John was ready now. With his sickle over his shoulder he went and stood next to the door. "[Now], child, you just stay there. You can go to bed, but keep an eye out for what I'm going to do," said John. Now when the serpent came poking its head inside Bweno, 7ivayik la 7un, 7a ti Jwan Kwero 7une, mu la x7och svayel ta j-mek 7un, te la xva7et, te la xva7et ta j-mek 7un.

X7ok' xa la ta j-mek ti tzeb 7une. "Bweno mu k'u xal 7avo7on, 7ija, jk'eltik kik mi mu xu7 ku7un, 7entonse ti mi 7ikuch ku7une, ta xbat kalbe li 7atot mi sakub 7osile," xi la ti Jwan 7une. "Bweno!" xi la. "Mu me xa7ok' 7un!" xi la ti Jwan 7une. "Mo7oj," xi la ti tzeb 7une. "Pero mi xkuch me 7avu7un 7un, yu7un me 7ech'em smilel, 7ayem labal solteroetik, 7ech'em yu7un bala ta j-moj, mi ja7uk xcham, mu xcham ta milel, ta bala 7ech'em yo7onik ta j-mek," xi la ti tzeb 7une. "7A manchuk pero ta jk'el kik li vo7on a7a," xi la ti Jwan Kwero 7une. "Ja7 no 7ox kwenta mi sjunul 7avo7on chak'anone," xi la ti Jwan 7une. "Sjunul, 7ijito, ti mi7n mi7n chavik'on 7o ta j-moj 7uke," xi la ti tzeb 7une. "7A, jk'eltik kik ja7 no 7ox kwenta jayib lek 7ora chul," xi. "Ta 7ol 7ak'ubal ta j-mek," xi la.

the house, John Skin grabbed it and cut off its head with the sickle. He cut off the serpent's head. Then, groaning, the serpent died. Its head was cut off. It couldn't do anything anymore. It had no way to bite people. Its rear end was left lying on the ground. In the morning, the serpent's head was lying there on the ground. But [in the past] it had survived bullets again and again. It had been shot for sure, but it never died, not until John won out. In the morning he went to talk to their father, "Father!" said John Skin when he arrived. "What?" said the king. "Well, go see for yourself, go look at the serpent! It's mine this morning. I cut off its head. Its head is lying there on the ground. Go see for yourself!" he said. "Oh!" he said. "Are you telling the truth?" said [the king]. "I'm telling the truth," he said. "But what kind of a man are you? What did you do to be able to cut off its head? [My soldiers] shot it. They shot it again and again, but it wouldn't die," said the king. "It arrived at my house all the time since the ocean is very nearby," said his father-inlaw. "Oh, but no, of course it was me who won out. Go see for yourself!" said John. The old man went to look. The serpent's head was lying there now. "Well, that's fine! I love you with all my heart. With all my heart I give you my daughter. Take my daughter forever, because you will stay here in my home," said the king. "You will work here, you will stay here. You won't ever leave," said the king. "Well, all right, then," he said. Now [the king] sent someone to the place where the soldiers had come from, after they had come and looked and done their best, to notify them that one man, John Skin himself, had won. He left. He took a trip to another town, dressed in his skin clothing. "What is it you're looking for?" asked a Ladino whom he met on the way. "I'm not looking for anything. I'm looking for work, but I've found it already," he said. "Where do you work?" he asked. "Oh, I don't work anywhere. I work at the king's house. The king is my father-in-law. I married his daughter," said John Skin. "Go on, you stupid jerk! Would you be given a girl, the likes of you, you beggar? Is that the way you pose as a man? Would girls be given to something like that?" said the Ladino. ROMIN TERATOL ochel sjol ti ta yut na 7une, ja7 7o la skilbe jos ti snuk' ti Jwan Kwero 7une, 7istuch'be ta jos snuk' ti chon 7une. 7Ora, te x7avet 7ilaj ti chon 7une, 7ituch' ti snuk'e, mu xa k'u spas, mu xa k'u xu7 xti7van, te xa banal 7ikom ti xchake.

"Pero k'usi vinikalot, k'usi xana7 ti stuch' 7avu7unbe sjole, pero milbil ta bala, 7ak'bil bala ta j-mek pero mu xcham," xi la ti rey 7une.
