In the land of Abó Gutanlé, the ram Abó dreamed every night of the throne of the Obá Ayabó and, in the service of the envious King Paní, entered his house as a spy, throwing ogú and shepé on him. Alapiní Awó and Shangó found him out; Olofin told him: «You are my favorite, but your hour has come». From his two tears and the virtue of the faithful Ologbó Erú, the secret against betrayal was made.

In the land of Abó Gutanlé there lived an Obá named Ayabó, who had a beautiful palace where he lived in peace, and there he worshipped Oluó Popó, who was his Orisha. He also had a trusted slave, who was Ologbó Erú.
Abó always wanted to have Ayabó's power, and there was not a night when he did not dream that he was the one sitting on the throne, and he said that he truly was the King, or rather, that he was the one who really ought to be.
In the land next to it there was an Obá named Paní, who envied Ayabó and, since he knew Abó's hidden wishes, he used him to bring about Ayabó's destruction as well. Abó entered Ayabó's service and every day threw ogú and shepé inside his ilé.
One day, Alapiní Awó came to Ayabó's palace, saw him in rags and sick, and saw Ologbó Erú, who could barely see anymore. So he, who had come with Shangó, did osode for Ayabó and saw this Ifá for him, Ofún Tempolá, and told him: «The harm is in your own house and it is someone you trust; everything you do he tells your enemies, and he is the one who throws ogú and shepé on you».
Just then Oluó Popó came in and caught Abó listening to the conversation, and tied him up while he sang: Abó Shemí Shemió Abó Shemí Shemió Abó Omá Koyé Kuyé Kuyé Shangó Kuyé Kuyé Eggun Odará.
Then he brought Abó before Alapiní Awó and Shangó, and told Ayabó: «Look, this one you have in your service is a spy, and he is the one betraying you». At which Alapiní Awó said: «Look, Shangó, eat him». But Shangó said: «Along with me, all the Eggun of all the omofá of this land will eat, the ones who died because of his ogú and his shepé». So they tied Abó up, and he looked at the Heavens and with his eyes begged Olofin for pity, and from above Olofin told him: «Son, you are my favorite, but your hour has come. Be at peace, since you have to die so that your fellows and my children in that land will have no more sorrows».
Then two tears came from Abó's eyes, which Alapiní Awó dried, and he told Ayabó: «He repented, but he still has to die. With that and the virtue of your most faithful servant, Ologbó Erú, you will make yourself a secret, so that never again will the betrayal, the ogú and the shepé of your enemies reach you, and you can live happily. And let the spirit of Abó do as Eggun what he did not do in life, and always warn you with the alá of every trap your enemies set for you».
Notes: this Ifá says that something is always seen in dreams. Here the ram saw Olofin before he died: he raised his eyes to Heaven, looked at him and begged, and Olofin told him: «You have done your part, son, be at peace!», and gave him his blessing. When the Awó is going to kill for Shangó, he puts a piece of jobo wood in his mouth so his member does not go weak; jobo must not be missing from the teas of this sign. This is a person under a curse, and it may fall to the Awó to do something about it: epó is rubbed on the mouth with the irofá before speaking the Ifá, to keep the person's curse from touching you.
