Once, Sac Muyal robbed a young girl and
disappeared with her. To rescue her, her lover ran day and night, between
mountains and roads. Suddenly a snake came out, and the serpent said:
- I
know what you are looking and I want to help you. Remove from my body, a little
blood, drink it and then I'll be your guide. He did so, and walked behind the
snake, but as she was lazy after a while she fell asleep.
Then the man struck her with a reed and
Only then she resumed her way. Soon reached to a mountain so thick that it was
impossible to go further.
He
already became heartbroken when an old woman approached him and said:
-Take this strand of my hair, throw it and you
can follow your route. As he pulls the thread, a path was opened, and easily
walked to reach the shore of a lake. So there a deer said:
- Take this stone, throw it into the water
and you will cross the lake
The man threw the stone, as in a dream was
born to the other shore of the lake. Here, an eagle appeared and said:
- Here, this is one of my claws, will be
useful. Now go your way.
He advanced, and passing under a custard,
a drop of sap, came into his eyes and became blind. Then a beetle said:
- Take this ball of soil through your eyes
and you will see again
It's passed twice and he regained his
sight. Went ahead and stopped at a cave where they were the old woman, the
deer, the eagle and the beetle. The old woman thus said
- Now is the end of your trip. Enter the
cave and there you will find the girl you are looking for.
The deer said:
- Touch it with the stone.
The eagle said:
-Touch it with my fingernail.
The beetle said:
-Pass the ball through her eyes.
The serpent said:
-Drizzle with the water of your gourd.
The beetle said:
-Pass the ball through her eyes.
The serpent said:
-Drizzle with the water of your gourd.
The man did everything they said, but at that moment, he felt dizzy, and
lost consciousness completely. When he
woke up in his arms was the girl who stole Sac Muyal.
