Verse 1:

A young Traveler was preparing to take a long journey but before he began, he consulted Ifa. He was told that he would encounter great wealth on his journey but he was given a warning, "whatever you see should not be disclosed to any living creature. It should be your secret." He was advised to offer ebo and he comply.

In a not-so-distant kingdom, the king had called for his best builder to construct a new Palace for him. He wanted a palace so beautiful that it would make all other kings jealous. His Builder immediately went to work. Before long, he had constructed the most beautiful palace any King had ever seen. He was pleased and told his Builder that he would send payment by one of his servants. The Traveler had journeyed for many miles and had come across the home of the Builder. It was late and he asked the Builder if he could rest there for the night. The Builder agreed. Shortly after, the king's servant arrived. "My King has sent me to bring you this Calabash of food as token of his appreciation." The Builder accepted but as soon as the servant left, he showed his displeasure. "For all my efforts I am compensated with food? I'll just give this to my visitor to eat." The Traveler gratefully accepted the dish. When the builder left the room, The Traveler opened the Calabash to discover it was filled with money. Remembering the advice given to him, he did not disclose what he had seen. The next morning, the king's servant returned with another Calabash. "My King has sent me to bring you this Calabash of food as token of his appreciation." Again, the Builder accepted and as soon as the servant had gone, he again expressed how he felt slighted by the king. He again gave the Calabash to the Traveler. "Take this for the long journey ahead of you. Safe travels." The Traveler was greatly appreciative of the gift and went on his way. The king, having not heard from the Builder to show his appreciation of his compensation, called for him. When the Builder arrived, he asked "I have not heard from you since the palace was completed. Did you not receive the gift I sent you?" The Builder responded, "Yes, I did but I gave it to my visitor to eat on both occasions." The king was angered that the Builder didn't even bother to open the plate. "You have thrown away your opportunity to gain success. Maybe in your next life you'll learn against making irrational decisions."

Verse 2:

Afẹfẹlẹgẹlẹgẹ, the diviner of the earth.

Ẹfufulẹlẹ, the diviner of heaven.

Kukuteku, the diviner of the underground.

These were the Àwọs who cast ifá for Iki. He was advised to offer ẹbọ to prevent a friend from deceiving him and setting him up to be killed. Iki completed the ẹbọ.

One day, the ram went to visit Olofin. He noticed that his Egungun shrine was clean. The ram asked what was used in worship of the egungun and Olofin replied, obi was the sacrifice. The ram laughed and said that this was a good sacrifice but he was going to bring him iki as a sacrifice. He then went to visit iki. He told iki that he wanted to play a game that was once played with his father. The game consists of taking turns being carried in a wooden pot. The ram went first. He climbed inside and iki carried him forty feet. Then they switched and the ram carried iki. After a couple of rounds, the ram was once again carrying iki but instead of switching back, he began to head to Olofin. Iki cried out but the ram ignored him. Iki then began to sing the song taught to him by the Àwọs.

"Afẹfẹlẹgẹlẹgẹ, the diviner of the earth.

Ẹfufulẹlẹ, the diviner of heaven.

Kukuteku, the diviner of the underground.

The ram is taking me to Olofin to be killed.

I did not know he was playing a game of death.

Diviners of earth, heaven and the underground, please come forcefully release me from this bowl"

After a while, the ram shook the bowl and heard the sound of iki's iron bracelets. Assured that Iki was still there, the ram went directly to Olofin to make the sacrifice of iki. Upon opening the bowl, it was revealed that Iki was not there. In his place was the bracelets. Olofin was angered by the deceit and instead sacrificed the ram.
