Ika Oggunda was a hunter with the virtue that only Olofin ate what he hunted. Once all the animals cornered him in the bush to eat him, laying a trap for him; he had no choice but to climb a tree where a monkey had her hut. Having spent so long in the bush, he understood the animals' language, and he told the monkey what was happening. Since nobody ate monkeys, he never hunted them, and the monkey agreed to help him on one condition: that afterward he let the monkeys mix with the people of the town, since they lived far off, and when they came down they were chased and tied up. The hunter agreed; the monkey found the skin of a dead monkey, put it on him, and with him on her back went leaping from tree to tree until she got him out of the bush. Once he was free, the monkey followed him so he would keep his word — and because she had fallen in love with him and wanted to live at his side. And Olofin accepted nothing the other hunters brought him.
Ika Oggunda was a hunter who had the virtue that only Olofin ate what he hunted. Once all the animals cornered him in the bush to eat him, laying a trap for him. In that state, Ika Oggunda had no choice but to climb a tree that held a hut where a monkey lived. From up there he saw all the ambushes they had ready for him.
The monkey came back and found the hunter inside her house. Seeing the monkey, the hunter spoke to her, because by then he understood these animals' language from the time he had spent in the bush.
He told the monkey what was happening to him; and since the hunter was on good terms with all the monkeys — because as nobody ate monkeys, he did not hunt them —, the monkey agreed to help him, on the condition that afterward he let the monkeys mix with the people of the town, since they lived far off in the bush.
When the monkeys came, everyone in the town took fright and fled, but they chased them and tied them up.
The hunter accepted the condition. So the monkey climbed down and found the skin of a dead monkey and put it on the hunter. That way, with the hunter on her back, she went leaping from tree to tree until they were able to get out of the bush.
And once the hunter was free, the monkey followed him so that he would keep his word and take her to the town, and so she could stay there — because the monkey had fallen in love with him and wanted to live with him, and the hunter was always shut away in the bush.
And Olofin accepted nothing that the other hunters brought him.
