Mono noticed that someone had entered his field at night and
stolen some. At least ten of them were missing. Compay Mono
was worried, and later that day he talked to his neighbor, Comay
Jicotea, about the theft.

over the pumpkin patch to make sure no one entered. But the

discovered that while he was guarding the pumpkins in the east
someone had entered the western end and stolen his yuca.
