peces, y mátale. Y si aquél es avisado, ante que acometa a tomar los peces hace una concavidad en algún árbol que esté por allí cerca. Y cuando huye, vase a acoger al árbol, a la concavidad que hizo. Y la culebra enróscase al árbol y apriétase con él reciamente, pensando que está enroscada con el hombre. Y tan reciamente se aprieta, que allí muere enroscada al árbol. Y el que lleva los peces, escápase. De otra manera mata esta culebra a los que pasan por donde ella mora sale a la orilla del agua y arroja como escupiendo la ponzona en aquel que pasa. Y luego caye tendido como borracho. Y lue[go] le atraye así con el anhélito por fuerza, y va perneando el que así es llevado. Y métele en la boca y ahógale en el agua, y allí le come.
