Obara-Otura
"Apapatiako, the rebel rouser on the farm"
cast for the Hen and her chickens.
They told them that a strong enemy
was on his way to attack them;
if they would leave the house to go
to the farm, he would pursue them,
but if they made sacrifice however,
Hen and her chickens would survive.
Only very few made the sacrifice.
The sacrifice was a snail, 3200 cowries,
and ewe. Grind owo leaves, make
from that and the snail a soup,
and eat or drink the soup.
It was said that the hawk can do
the snail no harm; all he can do
is look at it. This person
will be respected.
