Tzinyama, who took two beauties from the heavens as his wives, finds himself in dire straits as their father, the god of heaven, schemes to punish him severely. He is truly backed into a corner!
Unexpected allies come to help Tzinyama.
It was small creatures like mice, aardvarks, and spiders that saved him from his predicament. With their help, Tzinyama attempts to escape back to Earth. The rewards they ask for—such as "leftover porridge" or an "anthill"—are so true to their animal nature that it will surely bring a smile to your face as you listen.
There are mysterious similarities to the Tanabata legend.
In the latter part of the story, Tzinyama returns to Earth and waits by a pond for his wives to come home.
