Yemayá raised Yobolo and taught him the religion, but once he was a man he neglected her and cut himself off. He fell ill in his legs and his stomach and everything went backward; sorry for it, he went to Orunmila, who told him to pray to Yemayá so he could bathe in the sea and to give two roosters to Shangó.
Yobolo came into the world and Yemayá raised him until he was a man, teaching him everything she knew of the religion, in a religious household. But once he was grown, Yobolo did not see to Yemayá, who was always after him about how little he cared, and he paid no attention, until he cut himself off from her.
Some time later, Yobolo fell ill in his legs and his stomach, everything went badly backward for him and, with no one to help him, he remembered Orunmila. Orunmila saw this Odù for him and told him to make ebbó, take a rooster and a dove and pray to Yemayá so she would let him bathe in the sea and take the illness and the setbacks off him. Yobolo went to Yemayá, who told him off as he deserved for his disobedience, let him bathe in the sea and said: «In exchange, you have to give two roosters to Shangó so he finishes settling your troubles». That is why you must respect whoever raised you.
