Si alguno le quita la caza, nótale y aguárdale, y procura de vengarse dél, matándole sus gallinas o otros animales de su casa. Y si no tiene cosa de éstas en que se venque, aguarda al tal cuando va camino, y ponse delante, ladrando, como que le quiere comer, por amedrentarle. Y también algunas veces se acompaña con otros tres o cuatro sus compañeros para espantarle. Y esto hacen o de noche o de día. Este animal tiene condiciones esquisitas: es agradecido. Agora en estos tiempos aconteció una cosa harta de notar con uno de estos animalejos. Un caminante, yendo por su camino, vio uno de estos animales que le hacía señal con la mano, que se llegase a él. Espantóse de esto el caminante, y fue hacia adonde estaba. Y como llegó cerca dél, vio una culebra que estaba revuelta al pescuezo de aquel animal, y tenía la cabeza por de bajo del subaco de aquel animalejo. Estaba muy apretada con él. Esta culebra era de las que se llaman cincóatl. Y el caminan[ante]
