Ajidapaquenejna'gate, a small, stingless kind of honeybee. He then told

how Jobe gained power from tricking the Strong Winds and locking

them inside his house. Tarantula eventually decided to give his prison-

ers food and released them, on the condition that they would only blow

from time to time. In return, the people of the village gave Jobe many

things, and the Strong Winds decided to give Jobe a secret:

When the people saw that it was going to make a strong wind with rain, they can use

this ujñarone . They can use the ujñarone Achiangoi gave to Jobe for this. This ujñarone

will take apart the storm that is going to come. And it will stop blowing.

I am telling this now because I see that it is cloudy. The people know that a strong

storm is bad because the strong wind can damage them. This is the ujñarone given to

Jobe by Achiangoi.

I am taking myself apart

I am taking myself apart when the sun is covered

I was the wind that came with strength

I am the one that destroys the forest

I am the one that destroys the beauty of the forest

I am the owner of happiness

I am the destroyer of heat

I sound like se se se [calming]

I sound like se se se

puuuuu [wind blowing lightly]

puuuuu

This is the secret of Jobe. This secret is used when a strong storm is coming. If this

is used, then the storm disappears. The words go up and destroy the storm. When the

storm leaves, the weather is cool. The people are very pleased with this ujñarone . The

people gave gifts to Jobe. Each time that someone had something, they gave part of it

to Jobe. shamans used this secret so that the Uyujna kiyigijnanie (“dust devils”) would

go to another place. The pujopie (“soul spirit”) of other shamans could be traveling

up in these winds.
