60 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 When Zinacantecs Rode Home on Horseback T110 Once there was a war. Who knows if the war began in Tabasco or where. It came nearer. It came nearer to Zinacantan Center. It passed on. There was a battle there. They fired on each other. They fought hard. The army that was pursued fled up [to Zinacantan]. Now the soldiers, the commander, seized many [men to serve as] porters. The poor Zinacantecs went to deliver the packs. The packs were carried. They went as far as the [Guatemalan] border. Now the army that was pursued reached an ocean. Then they gained the advantage. The others, the army that came up in pursuit was about to reach them. The ones who were immersed in the water couldn't be killed. The ones who were on land were killed. A great many died. They died. They were worn out. Now they had no way to succeed. So many had died. They fired cannons at them, too, but not even with them were they able to win now. They were finished. They were faint with exhaustion. Their bullets had run out now. So when the porters, our poor countrymen, saw that the soldiers in the army had grown weak, it seems, they made plans. "Can't you do anything?" one asked, since they had been saying "I'm going back. I'm, going back." "Oh, if you go back I'll kill you first!" they were told. That's how they regained their courage. They battled there. Now they couldn't win any more. So they asked each other if there were somebody who could do something. One of them spoke, "Me, I can be a little thunderbolt," he said. "Ah! And you?" they said. "Me, I can't do anything at all. I'm terribly stupid," said [one]. "But even the least thing will help if you can do a little something," said Thunderbolt. "[I can't do] anything at all," he said. "Go on then, move aside, idiot, I don't want you to come, to come with me here. Don't come bothering me!" said Thunderbolt. "If you can't be of any help, move aside!" he said. "And you, can you do anything?" he asked another of his companions. "Me, I can't do anything. I can only be a little butterfly," he said. "Oh, but that will certainly do!" he said. "And you?" he asked another. "Me, I am a whirlwind," he said. "Oh hell, as for you, we'll go together!" he said. "And you?" he asked another of his friends. 7A ti vo7ne 7oy la, 7iyu7 7ak'-k'ok\ jna7tik mi Tabasko bu la likem tal ti 7ak'-k'ok'e, 7ech' la tal, 7ech' la ta ta Jtek-lum, 7ech' la, 7iyu7 la sa7-k'op te yo7e, 7iyak'be la sbaik k'ok'.

Yech'o ti 7ispasik tzatzal 7une, 7iyak'ik k'ok' te yo7 7une. 7Ora, mu xa xu7 yu7unik 7une, ja7 7isjak'be sbaik ti buch'u, mi 7u k'usi sna7 7une, 7iyal la li jun 7une.

"Me, the only thing I can be is a little tornado," he said. "Oh well, fine then! There are three of us who are good. Let's find out, I guess, about one or so more." So, "And you, what can you do?" he asked another of his friends. "Me, I can be a little blowfly," he said. "Oh, that's fine!" he said. "Well, and you, what can you be?" "I can be a little something, but the only thing I can be is a hawk!" he said. "Oh damn, let's go together, I guess. But we can't reject him," said that Thunderbolt. "You're a bit of a help, you can tag along," said Thunderbolt. They talked it over and agreed that the soldiers were done in. They went to speak to the leader of the troops. "Well, sir, are you worn out now? Have you done all you can? We will help you a little if you want us to. We'll make a try, I guess, ourselves, and see if we can do it," said Thunderbolt. "Do you mean it?" said the leader of the troops. "Yes, sir, we'll try it out a little," he said. "Oh, go ahead, then!" he said, since many had been killed already by that army that was immersed in the water. Since the first army was on land, that's why more of them had died. "Well, we are going, then, with the agreement that we'll just fight three hours," he said. "Fine!" said the leader of the troops. "Well, we beg you to fix our meal when we have finished fighting, it seems, [when] we have returned," he said. "All right!" he said. "Let's go, but don't let a single soldier go near that place!" said Thunderbolt. "All right!" said the leader of the troops. When they had drawn near, they went on [by themselves]. They reached the border. Butterfly left. They sent him off. He went gliding along the seacoast. He returned. He came to report [to them], "What are they doing?" asked the elders. "Oh, they are scattered on the beach. They have come out. They are cooking their food contentedly. They are scattered there warming themselves happily in the sun." "Ah!" they said. "I guess you should go now, Hawk!" they said. Hawk left. Hawk went soring off. "What are they doing!" asked the elders again when Hawk came back. "They are spread out there, happily," he said. "Well, I guess you should go now, Blowfly," the blowfly was told. Blowfly left. He went to that place. They were well satisfied. Their meal was cooking.
