I will also speak, Mrs. Yaquelina, of, er, of my pet long ago.

jema' loy aja:ra / senyora Yaquelina oj eney oł no:no nos / nos ki'laj

with our landlord.

nuj pa:toronay'łi

when we just had arrived (to work) with the late Alejandro Rodríguez.

eney nos jo'mi aj (?) joyajway'łi nus, nus ney kayni di'i Alejandro di'i Rodri:ges /

He was our landlord.

usko pa:toronay'łi

And only a few days later, he slaughtered.

che ja' nos ney beyye:mes / wa:ka:tikus

He slaughtered, he made charque (of) the meat

wa:ka:tikus / charkina'us os wa:ka

He made charque (of) the meat,

charkina'us os wa:ka /

then in the afternoon, he spread it, or he had it spread (by someone) on the drying pole.

jayna noj walaylo jayna ilna'us os / is charki di' ilpojasna'us is charki jayna noj / nos paral

And then in the afternoon, he said like this to my late husband

che jayłe ja' noj walaylo jayna / jankwa'us ney / nuj kayni di' alwaj

Dionicio, your pet dog, is it not a thief?

Dioni:syo / as nonon di' pa:ko / kas tolkaranapápa'a

He said to my late husband, Dionicio.

jankwa'us nuj kayni di'ił alwaj / Dioni:syo

And the late (husband), he said like this

che jankwa'uj kayni / jankwa us ney /

No, the dog, my pet, it is absolutely not a thief, it is good (of good character).

ka:'i / as pa:ko / ał no:no / toł rey kas a'koniwa tolkarana:pa bo si'way

The dog is a good animal.

si'waypoy as pa:ko

It simply doesn't touch that, It doesn't eat, it doesn't grab (it),

kas rey ja' ba:ra ja' tolnawa'a kos ney kas rey kaywa'a / kas rey waynawa'a

the late one said.

jankwa'us kayni

Ah, because you know, that's why I asked

aah / bo onáranan jan dajawa:na /

if it is a thief or not.'

bu'ni di' e:ney tolkarana:pa'a / kabo di' joy ka:'i

And then he said (?)

che jayłe jan(?) /

Because here is a dog that is a thief, which is my pet, that one (standing),

bo ney koro' koj pa:ko di' tolkarana:pa di'ił no:no a'ko kore'e

the striped one, that one's a thief.

eney / katiyaro / a'ko tolkarana:pa

Before(?), when I slaughter, it makes fall down two pieces of charque, and the big pieces, those are the ones it makes fall down.

jaya'na naj wa:kaway'łi / tatabała'a oyra di' charki / che is mere' charki i'ko tatabała'a

Oh yes? My (standing) animal is not like that.

ah dojka / kure'ej rey no:no kaj jeniwa'a

That one is not a thief.

kas rey a'koniwa tolkarana:pa

Ah, so then, then, this night

ah jayłe / jayłe nokowa / loy neys imayni /

that one will be the one that looks after the charque, he said.

a'ko loy nokowa / kwey velna nij charki / jankwa'us

Ok, if you tell it.

lo jayna / naj di' kenapawan

Tell it then:

kempati a jayłe /

here you will lie, he said then, the late (my husband??).

de:nan ney nas / jayłe jankwa'us / nuj kayni /

Go ahead, you say to it, now, this night, this is where you lie, at the drying pole, underneath it, the charque.

joyti, jankwan na'ko / nes nokw- nes nokwa / nés i:may / a'ko de:nan as / naj paral / chodowi'is / is charki.

When other dogs come, you beat them.

nas jiwawa'kis pa:ko di'i / di' eney son̍poy / jan̍nan

You don't allow that they tear down the charque, you beat them.

ka' rey ka'pojnan nas rey tatabałwa'is is charki bo jan̍nan

and when I hear that you hit them, then I'll get up to have a look,

che naj pawana:wa naj eney jan̍nawanis jayna / jayna in̍ pon̍mo / bo aj vayełwa

you say, said my late husband.

jankwan jankwa us kayni di' ił alwaj

then that was what said that carayana Alejandro Rodríguez

jayłe asko jankwa'us ney karaya:na / di' Alejandro Rodri:ges

(when) he told the dog.

kenapawa'us os pa:ko.

And what, the dog listened.

che janwá / os pa:ko / palo:to

The dog listened, (it) put its head on one side,

palo:to os pa:ko / enkatoba:kwa 0 /

it did like this, and then to the other side.

jampa'as ney / che rey naj alcho /

He understood, he paid attention to what the late Alejandro said.

jayna paku'na'as os / paraparana'as oj jankwa'us kayni di' Alejandro

And then the dog said like this: "mm", it said.

che jayłe oj pa:ko / jankwa'as ney / mm / jankwa'as

Probably it said okay", and that's why it said 'mm'.

joy choy dojka loy di' joy jankwa'as do:koy / bo jan noj jankwanina'as ney / mm /

and then really in that night,

che ja' chonlomaj jayna nos ney i:may /

the dog came.

jayna jiwa:wa oj pa:ko

It didn't allow it, it barked, it barked, it scolded it, it beat the dog.

ka'pojnawa'as kama:may kama:may ju:na'as jan̍na'as os pa:ko

But probably when the dog slept, probably it was too tired, too tired.

ban noj joy choy jayna rey jorowa'as oj pako, joy choy jayna mo:joro'as, mo:jo:ro as /

It slept just a moment, it didn't notice the dog when it arrived, it (the other dog) jumped at the charque.

po:ra joro:kwa'as / paku'nawa'as os pa:ko nos joyajwa'as desakwa'as os charki

But as soon as it heard the dog, the other dog as it, er, threw down the charque,

ban noj jayna / ya'łe alkava:ni pawana'oj ney pa:ko os- os son̍ko:ko nos eney tatavosełwa'as os charki

immediately it got up, and it beat the dog, it shook the dog.

alkava:ni pon̍mo'as di'i / che jan̍na'as os pa:ko lirijna'as os pa:ko

The other dog let go of the charque that it had torn.

nánara'oj son̍poy di' pa:ko os charki / di' rałałe'as

Then the landlord, Alejandro, got up.

jayłe jayna pon̍mo uj / eney / pa:toronay'łi / di' Alejandro

What's up, Cual, probably the other dog has stolen charque.

a'kos jeyan / Kwal / joy kwey eney koro' / eney / dojacharki kos son̍ra di' pa:ko /

then the dog, the dog came up to him.

jayłe oj pa:ko / kajłekaya'us os pa:ko

It answered "mm", the dog said.

chaywakaya'us / mm / jankwa'os pa:ko

Then it showed him the charque.

jayłe chuspakaya'us nos charki

You see, that's what that carajo has done.

Jeje, bo a'ko joy di' (?) jampa kos mora'a

But then, Cual, I'll take it up, I'll put it up, said the late (landlord), they say.

ban jayna Kwal / jayna wayna jayna loy ił ban̍na naj ari:wa / jankwa us kayni, łan̍

because that's what he said when he told us in the morning.

bo jankwa'us noj kempaway'łi noj ima:yoj

****

****

He told us what he said, he told us what it did, our pet.

ak-, ajara'us os jankwa'us / ajara'us os jampa'os, os nonoy'łi /

He respected (it), he respected (it), and then he cherished the dog.

wa:wasinapojna'us / wa:wasinapojna'us / che jayna jayłe jumara'us os pa:ko

In the morning already he gave him that meat, which was full of dust.

noj ima:yoj jayna kayałe'uskas nos ney charki di'i / eney / jayna jemłabał

which the other dog had torn down, that was then what the dog ate.

di' tatavoseła'os ney son̍ko:ko / asko jayna kana'os pa:ko /

But he roasted the charque so that the dog would eat.

ban isna'us os charki bo os kaywa'os pa:ko

He said, Take it, roast this, Julia, the charque so that Cual eats it, because this is his payment, the late (landlord) said.

jankwa'us jalá / isti ay Ju:liya as charki / bo as kaywa'us Kwal / bo a'ko bawra'u / jankwa'us kayni

Then I roasted the charque, so that the dog ate it.

jayłe jayna isna oj charki / bo os kaywa'os pa:ko jayna

He didn't want me to give the dog just the raw meat.

janapa'us oj kayałe:wa os pa:ko nos ja' rey molra bo /

He wanted it cooked when the dog ate it.

lovełni oj yeyna'us noj kaywa os pa:ko / bo /

Because he cherished it and he liked it,

jumara'uskas / che yeyapoya'us

he said then.

jankwa'us nos ney

and that's what I told, Señora.

che jayna ka'de'as senyo:ra / ajalo:maj
