que este muchacho se críe y viva? No, por cierto, porque somos indignos viejos y viejas caducos. Por tanto, humildemente os rogamos que le recibáis y toméis por hijo para entrar y vivir con los otros hijos de principales y otra gente que se crían en casa de telpuchcalli."
\nY los maestros de los muchachos y mancebos respondían desta manera, diciendo a los padres del muchacho: "Tenemos en mucha merced por haber oído vuestra plática o razonamiento. No somos nosotros quien se hace esta plática o petición, mas hácese al señor dios Yáotl, en cuya persona la oímos. Él es a quien habláis y a él dais y ofrecéis a vuestro amado hijo, o a vuestra piedra preciosa y pluma rica, y nosotros en su nombre la recebimos. Él sabe lo que tiene por bien de hacer dél. Nosotros, indignos siervos caducos, con dudosa esperanza esperamos lo que será lo que tendrá por bien de hacer a vuestro hijo, según lo que él tiene ya ordenado de hacerle mercedes conforme a su disposición y determinación, que ante del principio del mundo determinó de hacer. Cierto, ignoramos los dones que le fueron dados y la propiedad y condición que entonces le fue dada.
