82 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 23 "I mean it." "Didn't you see anything at all?" asked the boss. "Nothing," he said. "Now, then, it's nothing much. You are going again," he was told the next day. "You are going to deliver a message. Take the message! You will go here," he was told. He left. He arrived and spoke to a Ladino at the first door. "I've come to deliver a message," [Johnny] told him. "Ah, go, go in, go and speak to the person who is way inside there," he said. "Fine!" said Johnny Fourteen. He went in. The gentleman way inside looked at the message. "Ah!" said the gentleman. "Well, good, you aren't to return. You are to stay here. That's what the message says. We will stay here now. We will be together," said the gentleman inside there, the owner of the house. "Ah!" said Johnny Fourteen. "But who said so?" he asked. "I say so!" he said. "Are you the one who gives all the orders?" said Johnny Fourteen. "Well it's me, as I told [you]. Get out, I guess! How are you going to get out?" he said. "If I really want to, I'll get out," said Johnny Fourteen. "It just doesn't make any difference. So what! I guess I'll think it over whether I get used to it or not," said Johnny Fourteen. He had come through sixty doors. Now when Johnny Fourteen lost his temper he just kicked the doors one after another until he finished breaking down all sixty doors. So that's how he came out again. He came back again. He spoke to the boss where he worked. "Ah!" said [the boss]. "Did you get out?" he asked. "I got out," he said. "Oh, but how did you get out?" he asked. "I just got out by myself. I opened the door. I was able to open the door. Nothing happened, nothing. I just escaped," he said. "Ah!" said [the boss]. "So that's fine, then. Today you are to go to the graveyard," said the boss. "You are to go there. Just be there, you don't have to work. Just go spend the night there," said the boss. "Well, okay!" said Johnny Fourteen. He went to spend the night at the graveyard. When he went to bed he didn't fall asleep. He paced there. He kept walking around. Maybe it was because he had been told not to sleep. And at midnight all the ghosts came. "What are you looking for here?" all the ghosts asked. "Yech kal." "Mi mu k'usi 7avil j-set'uk?" xi la ti yajval 7abtel 7une. "Ch'abal," xi la. "7A Ii7e che7e, mu k'usi, chabat noxtok," x7utat ti ta jun 7o k'ak'al 7une.

"7A!" xi la ti Jwan Katorse 7une. "Pero buch'u xi?" xi la 7un. "Vo7on xichi!" xi la 7un. "Mi vo7ot batz'i xapas mantal?" xi la ti Jwan Katorse 7une. "Pwes vo7on ti k'u kale, lok'an kik, k'u xi chalok'?" xi la. "Ti sk'an ko7one chilok'," xi la ti Jwan Katorse 7une. "Ja7 no 7ox muk' ta 7alel, yiyil, ta jnop ka7tik mi xinop mi mu xinop," xi la ti Jwan Katorse 7une. 7Ox-vinik la ta k'ol ti ti7 na 7une, ti 7och 7une. 7Ora, ti k'alal ti kap sjol ti Jwan Katorse 7une, naka la slikel ta tek'el 7un, ju-jun ju-jun ti ti7 na 7une, 7asta ke laj svok'an komel skotol ti sesenta ti7 na 7une. 7Entonse, ja7 yech 7ilok' 7o tal noxtok 7un, 7isut tal noxtok 7un, ta sk'opon ti yajval ti buy ch7abtej 7une. "7A!" xi la. "Mi lalok' tal?" xi. "Lilok' tal," xi. "7A, pero k'u xi lalok' tal?" xi. "Yech lilok' tal jtuk, 7ijjam li nae, 7ijam no 7ox ku7un, muk' mu k'usi 7ipas mu k'usi nada mas likol," xi la 7un. "7A!" xi la. "7Entonse lek che7e, lavie chabat ta mukenal," xi la ti yajval 7abtel. "Chabat te yo7e, te yech no 7ox mu7nuk cha7abtej, ba nox 7ech'uk 7ak'ubal te yo7e," xi la ti yajval 7abtel 7une. "Bweno stak'!" xi la ti Jwan Katorse 7une. Bweno, te la ba vayuk ta ba mukenal, 7a ti, 7a ti vayeme, muk' la x7och svayel, te la xva7et te la xjoyet ta j-mek 7un, yu7un no la yech 7albil 7un, ke ti mu xvay 7une, 7i ta 7ol 7ak'ubal 7un, 7ital la skotol i 7animaetik 7une.

"I'm not looking for anything. I'm just having a good time," said Johnny Fourteen. "You won't look for anything here, now. If you want to, let's go into my house," they said. "Who said so? Who's giving the orders?" said Johnny Fourteen. "It's whatever we say," said the ghosts. He was taken inside. He didn't know how. He went through sixtee—through sixty levels of the earth he went. And, "Ooh, but I've come way down now," said Johnny Fourteen. "God, but what can I do about this?" he said. He thought carefully. There was no longer any way to get out. He was at the very bottom of the world now. "I guess I'll try," he said. In a minute he went and kicked [his way] out of the world. He was able to open it. Johnny Fourteen got out. He continued on happily. He went on. He went to speak to that boss. "Well, I've come back now," he said again, the next morning. "Have you returned again?" asked his boss. "I've returned," he said. It was just that he ate and ate. He ate fourteen helpings a meal. "Ah!" he said. "Eat, then!" [the boss] said again. "Well, you are to go another time," [Johnny] was told again. "Where am I to go?" he asked. "To the graveyard again, you are just to go there," said [the boss]. "Ah," said [Johnny Fourteen]. "Okay," he said. They came, lots of soldiers came. They came to wage war, to kill him, since it had been heard that he couldn't be killed, that one man had the strength of fourteen men. "So let's go kill him with bullets, then!" said the soldiers. They arrived. They attacked him with bullets. Johnny Fourteen was standing unconcerned. The bullets passed by. He just dodged and dodged the bullets as they passed. The soldiers ran out of bullets. [The bullets] missed him. He took his little machete. He went to capture them. He went to kill them. He went to capture them. He wrestled all the soldiers. He finished off all the soldiers, too. He returned. He arrived to tell his boss again. "I've come back now," he said again. "Have you come back again?" [the boss asked]. "I've come back," he said. "Huh, hell! But what kind of a man are you?" said the boss over and over. "Really, I'm no special kind of man," said [Johnny]. "Didn't anything happen to you? Didn't anything come along?" asked [the boss]. "Nothing, it seems. There wasn't anything," said [Johnny]. "Huh, but do you mean it?" he said. ROMIN TERATOL 83 "Mu k'u ta jsa7, yech no 7ox ta jkux ko7on," xi la ti Jwan Katorse 7une. "7A lavie mu k'usi chasa7 H7 toe, mi xak'ane 7ochikotik ta jna," xi la. "Buch'u xi, buch'u spas mantal?" xi la ti Jwan Katorse.
