Oshe-Irosun
"The battle is unfortunate and painful,
the city is miserable and sad" was cast
for Oshe, on the day that he was unhappy,
and derived very little enjoyment from life.
They told him to sacrifice, in order
to be happy his whole life long,
to always run into pleasant things
instead of bad things. The offering was a bell,
plenty of kolanuts, a big bowl of mashed yams,
a bowl of soup, 2000 cowries, and ewe.
Oshe refused to sacrifce.
"He who has many children" was the one
who cast for the Rooster and the Hen.
The fowl would remain very productive in future,
if they did what they were told to do: sacrifice
a goat and 20,000 cowries. Rooster and Hen
listened, and made the sacrifice.
