A famous Awó made osode for his orphaned servant boy, saw this Odù — and threw him out of the house, because the sign obliged him to make Ifá for the boy at his own expense. Elegba, Ogún and Oshosi found the boy crying and sent him to three Awoses: «Tell your godfather that Olofin is angrier than he is — and remind him of the tiger an unseen hunter killed in the forest: that was Olofin, who saved his life so he would make Ifá for you». He did it grudgingly and taught him nothing: he lost his health and died — and the godchild went on to become Obá of that land.
In his land that Awó had a name, and in his house a young boy served as a servant. One day he sent for him: "I am going to do osode for you, to see what your road in life is." The ókpele fell, this Odù came out, and the Awó's mood changed: violent, he threw the boy out of the house. With no parents or relatives to answer for him, and not understanding why, the servant headed for the countryside, crying. There two men and a big lad found him — Elegba, Ogún and Oshosi — and they wanted to know what he was doing in such a dangerous place. They listened to his story and asked him to draw on the ground the figure that had come out. Elegba looked at it and spoke: "That Awó threw you out because with that Odù he has to make Ifá for you with whatever much, little or nothing you have — and since you have nothing, he has to put up everything. Take this money, get a reading from three Awoses and do what they tell you."
Before the three Awoses the sign came out again, and from them he got the message: "Go back to your godfather's house and tell him that if he is angry, Olofin is angrier still. Remind him of the time in the jungle when a tiger was going to kill him, and a hunter who never showed himself killed it with an arrow: that hunter was Olofin himself, who saved his life so that, when you came to his house, he would make Ifá for you." Once the message was delivered, the Awó agreed to the consecration, though grudgingly: he complained about the money it cost him, and afterward he did not pass on a single teaching. From then on his health went downhill and his dealings with the Saints and with the neighborhood got tangled up, until he died. At that very moment the godson took his place in that land, and came to be Obá of it.
