‛God created four boons: the main one is Artauz, one more is man, one more is sheep, one more is wheat. Together with a man, a sheep and wheat, he created a devil for each: for a man — a woman, for a sheep — a goat, for wheat — %ssysyly%s (a weed whose admixture makes the flour bitter). Artauz was created for our good, but he began to teach people unkind (perverse) ways. Then God told Wacilla to drag Artauz to him. Wacilla brought a cloud to the sky, struck and raised him to himself… Then he was nailed (sewn) inside the moon with iron nails. If Artauz breaks free, he will devour people. To prevent him from escaping, every blacksmith must hit the anvil once more’
