I am going to tell you what my grandmothers told me about the beginning times. My grandmother used to tell how the Tayag Woman took them, she was their mother. She was their mother. They say that she had children. The snail was her child, the crab was also her child. The wooly monkey was her child, the spider monkey was her child, and besides that the capuchin monkey too was her child. One of her children was the tortoise. The toucan was also her little child. They say that all the animals used to be her children. The white collared peccary were her children, all of them were here children. And then she said "No children, You all come here." Now you are all going to go to different places. They say she told them, "I am going to send you each to a different place." When she said that her children all gathered together. She had prepared the (black) wituk paint beautifully. She prepared the white clay to paint them with and send them off. And when she did that they say that her children came crying and said, "Mom where are you sending us?" I am the one who knows where to send you. And when she had said that, since he was close by, they say that the first one she sent off was the toucan. So she said to the toucan, "Come here. Now I am going to paint you and send you off." Then with white clay, red clay, with red she painted each of them. After she had painted (the first one) she said now you will become the toucan. Go sing in that tree! Otherwise you may go across the sea. They say she pierced each of them. And when she pierced them. And when she pierced them (they sprung to life in their new form). The toucan took flight saying I must go across the sea. But taking flight they say he fell half way across. So, since he fell they say that the toucan said, "I am not going (over there)." So he stayed and from him the toucans have multiplied. The she took (the one who would become) the woolly monkey and painted him beautifully with (black) wituk dye. Then she painted the whole body of the wipata. Now you all will have to live looking for your own food. From no on your food will be different. You will no longer eat with me they say she said to those children. I can't cross the sea said the wooly monkey. I will stay here in this forest After painting him black, (she said) now go! I am going to be left alone. He climbed upa a tree and jumped. Now speak! she said. "Tsuru! kuaa" he cried. And saying that he went off. After that she said to the spider monkey, "Come! I am going to cut your hair chiu! Like a little roof." No you are going to become a spider monkey. Now you are going to go off saying "uchuri." He also said "No! I can't cross the sea. I will die half way across." So after painting him beautifully she said, "Now you are going to cry to me with a different sound" She pierced him, and they say that when she pierced him he went off making his cry. "Ah, ah, ah ha" he cried out has went away high above. My child has become a spider monkey now. After that she sent off the capuchin monkey "Now you all will also speak a different language," they say she said. And he went away crying his call. So in turn she (had) painted the capuchin monkey and sent him off. So he had gone now, climbed up above (into the trees) to live. "Jaa, jaa, jaa, jaa, ja, ja" he cried as he became a capuchin monkey. Then she called another one, the squirrel monkey. She painted him black around the mouth beautifully! She also painted his body white beautifully. After she had painted these children she said, "Now you will go away too. Now go!" "Now you will speak to me with a different sound. You will speak to me," they say she said and she tossed him (up toward a tree). He went away. And as he went he went crying "tsirii, tsirii, tsirii, tsirii." He went crying because he missed (loved) his mother. Well then she called another one. She called the (one who would become) the saki monkey. When she called the saki he did not come quickly. It wasn't a fast walker. They say that the sipuru came slowly. "Why don't you listen? Come quickly!" they say she said. It came to its mother's side. Then she fixed its hair cutely all fluffy, poor thing. After doing that she said "Now go!" You are going to be someone with a hairy face," "Now, Go!" she said and she pierced him. He went away. Now you too will have (your own) speech. And the saki monkey went crying "Jull, jull, jull, jull." He went away. After she had sent them all away the (child who would become the) tamarin monkey came. She sent the tamarin away beautifully painted. And the tamarin too went away. And his mother said, "you will cry out to your mother "Si, si, si, si." And then (it cried), "Si, si, si, si." Now my child has become a tamarin. And so they say she called the squirrel. The squirrel they say she called. And say "You come here," she painted him and sent him off. You will eat looking for fruits or nuts. What hard nuts you will live eating.!" And so she sent that one away beautifully painted as well. And he too went away crying to his mother like the others. He also cried to his mother, it went crying out. She sent him completely away behind her. She called the snail. You all come. She said come and put them lin inside metal shells. Now all will go live in the water. She said "Go!" and released them in the water. And the one who would become the crab, the crabs too she called. Along time later they came saying "Mom." Where will my house keeping things be? You called me here. What will I eat? You will live looking for food in the water she said and then sent them into the water too. And the crabs went into the water. He turned into a crab. So in the same way she called the woodpecker. "Hurry! Come! You are a strong person they say she said. Since she called the woodpecker came. After beautifully painting the one who had come she said "Now go!" "You are stronger that any one else," she said as she pierced him. And when she pierced him (he went off). Otherwise he would still be around here poor thing. The mother watched the sea from behind him wondering if he would make it. And as she watched she saw that the woodpecker flew (moving his wings) matú, matú, matú, matú And as she watched he landed on a dead tree stump on the other side. And has he reached the other side he cried out to his mother tandangar, tandangar I have gone I have crossed (the sea). I want to go! I want to go! The turtle said as his mother took her time painting him. And after she had painted him beautifully she sent off the turtle. "I am going to cross (the sea)" he said just as (the woodpecker) had said. So go she said and tupuu he went down river but he reached the other side. He became a turtle. That what that mother did. Then after sending them all off the mother wondered "What shall I become?" Now I have sent off all of my children. Now if they are able they will eat on their own. She had sent them off at dawn beautifully painted They say they had run off into the forest becoming agoutis and pacas. What a beautiful chubby little girl the one who would become the paca was. "Well I will become a paca." "You will be a paca," daughter. You will be a nocturnal feeder. And to the agouti she said "you will feed during the day in different gardens. And when she said that she sent her off. So when she sent them off the paca (and the agouti) went crying chiun, chiun, chiun because they loved their mother. So they all left. And when they had left and after she had sent them all away she asked, "Now what will become of me?" I have sent all my children away. Now who will I live with. I will live inside a hole in the earth, the Tayag (woman) said. I too will just go to look for a mountain, and while I am just looking for a way into the mountain I will find a hole. And when I find it I will stay in there becoming a Tayag, (a beginning tie person) who has become someone who now lives inside the earth. That is what they say about this. So when she was left alone she began to look from the heart for this large home where she could live. And then she found a large hole, and there she sat down in the doorway and began to sing pitifully to her children. I have sent off all my children she said and as she sat crying she sang, (in the beginning time language no one now living understands) "Tay kuata pani ñu, kichirt kaja pani ñu." Who knows where the beginning time person was from who walked by (and heard her singing this)? When he looked to see clearly, (the door closed) tulun! The Tayag had gone (inside the earth). That is what our grandmothers used to tell us. When I was a child (our grandmothers) would sit us down and talk to us long about this but I have forgotten it. And her children were listening? When the mother was sending off her children they came crying. They say that all of them came crying and said "Mom where are you sending us?" I am sending you out into this forest to the places that are now empty where you will live. You will go speaking all of the different languages she said as she sent them away crying. They sent off them off crying. When she had sent them all clean away and she was left alone she went to sit inside a hole (in the earth.) As they were going away crying what did they say, what did they cry? They say the mother cried too, but she said "I have raised you up to this point and no more. Now go!" They say that the mother also cried as she sent them off. So they cried, "Mama, mama!" in each of their different languages? (Yes) they say that the poor things went away crying, "Mama, mama, mama," and then perched up above. But it was not human language that came out? No. After (she had sent them) they left speaking and singing in (their) different languages. The toucan singing "wian, wian, wian. The curassow sent off beautifully (painted) landed on a low branch and sang. You are crying now, poor thing. Now in its (own) language, speaking a different language. The same thing happened with the nocturnal curassow. It also sang. Because it loved its mother it cried from it heart but it spoke in a different language. Our grandmother used to tell a lot about this but I have forgotten. This is where my story ends. Ñuka kuintanga rauni kallari timputa ñuka apamamaguna kuintashkata.

Yo comencé a oír este cuento desde que mi mamá me lo contaba. Mi mamá lo contaba, también decía que era su mamá quien lo contaba. Su mamá tenía bastantes hijos, aunque eran animales pequeños también eran sus hijos, también eran hijos criados por ella. Ella criaba con alegría, también criaba con cariño, y de esa forma los criaba con dureza. Su hijo se convirtió en una chicharra, su hijo se convirtió en un saltamontes, todos los animales pequeños eran sus hijos. Las lombrices también eran hijos de ella, igual que esos hijos que actualmente tenemos. Hoy en día ustedes van a tener otra parte, pero esa parte ya la habían roto anteriormente, decía ella. Cuando ustedes se juntaron otra vez, se pusieron ropa bonita Con buena tierra se vistieron con su ropa y en ese momento ya estaban viniendo ustedes. Madre, ustedes nos van a volver a romper, por eso mismo ustedes son los que nos están rompiendo. Yo seré la que les enseñe a ustedes a romper, porque en ese momento cuando hablaron, en el pasado rompieron la chicharra. La chicharra dijo “vengo a aparecer ahora pintadita estoy”. Entonces con esa buena tierra, con tierra roja, con color rojo todo lo pintó Lo pintó, ahora tú eres chicharra, te convertiste en chicharra con esa pintura, vas a cantar ahora. Él dijo “yo voy a cruzar el río” y saltando el río pequeño, no puedo cruzar Al brincar en medio del agua se cayó, cuando se cayó así también se cayó la chicharra. Se ahogó, entonces la chicharra desapareció, y con alegría ella la abrazó con una bonita hoja. Con hojas de plátano la envolvió a esta que ahora es su hijo. Ustedes, ustedes viven en el monte, ahora ustedes viven en el monte. Ustedes tienen su comida, ahora la comida es otra. Ustedes no comen de nosotros, dijo a sus hijos, así dijo, entonces como yo No puedo ir a donde ellos viven, dijo la alegre, por eso te pintó la cara. Ahora sólo yo me quedo, yo sola me quedé con ropa hilada, con ropa tejida, así dijo. El ave Tsuru, Kuaa gritó, bueno así dijo y se fue. Luego dijo “ven ahora tú chubillo”, le dijo y le hizo una casa de techo. Ahora tú vas a convertirte en chubillo, dice que va a entrar. No, él también dijo que no cruzaría mi río, mi pequeño río está muerto. Así como se fue pintado bonito, ahora uno va a gritar y va a aparecer, va a gritar dicen. Él cruzó, cruzó y gritó así “ah ah ah ha” gritaba mientras caminaba, mi hijo chubillo se convirtió. Y así también lo transformó con machete bonito, lo pintó bonito, ahora él va. Ustedes, ustedes tienen diferentes palabras, así mismo, se fue, gritaba él. Con machete bonito lo pintó y caminó, con su ropa tejida lo dejó. Jaa, jaa, jaa, jaa, ja, ja, ja, dijo el machete y pasó, uno se va a convertir ahora, dijo. También lo pintó con su vestido brillante, con ropa hermosa tejida, con carne bonita también lo pintó. A sus verdaderos hijos también los pintó, ahora ustedes están hablando, ahora se dice. Van a oír uno nuevo, van a contar, yo dije que se fue, se convirtió. Se fue, se fue “tsirii, tsiriii, tsirii”, así fue, la mamá se entristeció, así se fue. Bueno, uno pidió una guayaba, una guayaba que crece no muy lejos, no pudo llegar, la mamá llegó primero. La guayaba vino bien, ¿de qué forma se la va a alcanzar?, dijo que no llegó. La mamá lloró, entonces muy triste con su cabello desgreñado se hizo peinar. Así lo hizo, ahora va, dice que la ardilla le mordió la nariz y cruzó. Se fue, ahora también los otros comienzan a hablar, “jull, jull, jull, jull, jull” dice la guayaba que se va gritando. Se fue, allí ya se había convertido el mono chico, Al mono chico lo pintó bonito, también se fue así, sí, sí, sí, sí, dijo a su mamá gritando. Entonces “sí, sí, sí”, ya mi hijo se volvió mono chico, también ahora se volvió ardilla. Fue, la pintó, le dio vueltas, como el color del fruto eso come y vive. También a él lo pintó bonito, así mismo también gritó a su mamá. Él gritó a su mamá, gritó y se fue donde ya estaba pintado. Ahora el churro “tsiririri” vienen ellos, vienen dice, bonito el iro grita desde arriba. Ahora ellos viven en el agua, dijo que llegó al agua, al agua. También los apanguras, los apanguras ya estaban antes, mamá dijo. ¿Dónde está mi casa con esa forma?, ¿cómo se comen esas cosas? Ellos buscaron en el agua y comieron, dice que del agua pintado se fue, el agua se llevó al apangura. Convertido en apangura dice que vino como carpintero. Hay alguien que lo considera persona, dice que se volvió carpintero. Llegó pintado bonito, lo hizo bonito, ahora se va. Él dijo que desde todos los mundos es persona, cruzó, cruzando llegó allá. La mamá vio desde la casa que no lo cruzó, y después. Entonces ese carpintero muchas, muchas, muchas veces se emborrachó. Gritando por el río, él desde el río a la orilla, habló con su madre ya dijo. Ahí mismo dijo “yo, yo, yo” entonces al saltamontes se lo pintó en tiempos antiguos. Lo pintó bonito allá, pintó al saltamontes, yo lo vi por eso mismo él dice lo mismo. Así fue, se fue cuesta abajo pero resbalando bajó al río. Convertido en saltamontes él, así fue donde la mamá. Su mamá ahora me dice qué pasó, ya pintado se fue todo y así él. Ahora yo rompo a mis hijos, que coman bonitamente y pintado se fue. Ellos al monte se lanzaron con fuerza, convertidos en caracoles bonitos. La mujer gorda, esa que se ve hermosa, bueno yo más que caracol me convertí. Te convertiste en caracol, eres mujercita que vive en la noche. En la noche, antes en la chakra te alimentabas, dijo él, así dijo y se fue. Se fue convertido en caracol, “chiun, chiun, chiun” gritan allá las vacas, la mamá se entristeció. Se fue caminando, por el camino abierto ya se fue, dijo que yo me transformé. Yo me transformo en mis hijos que se alimenten en los piwas, más que yo viva en lo profundo, dijo el abuelo. Se fue, desde mi casa fui a buscar también al cerro, buscando el cerro encontré un gran hoyo. Al encontrarlo se quedó allí el abuelo convertido, vivía en lo profundo de la tierra, así lo cuenta. Él solo se convirtió, él solo con su corazón vivía, en una gran casa él vivía. Entonces ese hoyo grande que encontró, esa fue la puerta, él cantó, me dio lástima por mis hijos. Yo pinto a mis hijos, dijo, allí se quedó, cantando. Muy temprano también dijeron que personas venían, por los caminos comenzaron a andar. Con buena ropa pintado ya él vivía, viejo, así me contaba mi mamá. Cuando uno es hijo pequeño uno escucha cuando cuenta, entonces el hijo ya habló. Los niños dijeron que su mamá no estaba, así se fueron. La madre destruye a todos los que somos, porque esta selva, ellos viven aquí, el monte tiene de todo. Todos los idiomas se hablan dicen, entonces él, ella, ella lo rompió. Pintado bonito, ella sola se quedó sentada en lo profundo. Ellos se fueron, ¿de qué cuento se trata?, ¿de qué parte se fue? Él también su mamá lo pintó, pero ustedes sólo con voz los voy a pegar, así dijo ella. Se fue pintando a su mamá, y "¡Vieja, vieja, vieja!", gritaron, se fueron gritando, ya se sentaron a hilar Así no se oye voz humana. No, allí sólo entre ellos se hablaban otros idiomas, cantaban chicharras. Las chicharras hacen wian, wian, wian, brincando, bonito lo pintó, con tierra de campo en la cabeza lo adornó. Cantaban, las vacas mugen, ya su idioma se convirtió en otro idioma, los munditi cantaban así como el munditi canta. La mamá se entristeció, con el corazón mugía, pero con otra lengua habló. Mi mamá nos contaba este cuento desde hace mucho, así lo escuché. Solo ese era mi cuento.
