donde se hacía el convite. Unos traían agua; otros barrían; otros regaban; otros echaban arena; otros colgaban espadanas donde se había de hacer el areito; otros entendían en pelar gallinas; otros en matar perros y chamuscarlos; otros en asar gallinas; otros en cocerlas; otros metían los perfumes en las cañas. Las mujeres, viejas y mozas, entendían en hacer tamales de diversas maneras. Unos tamales se hacían con harina de frisoles; otros con carne. Unas dellas lavaban el maíz cocido; otras quitaban la coronilla del maíz, que es áspera, porque el pan fuese más delicado; otras traían agua; otras quebrantaban cacao; otras le molían; otras mezclaban el maíz cocido con el cacao; otras hacían potajes.
\nY en amaneciendo, ponían petates por todas partes, y asentaderos, y echaban heno entretexiendo la orilla, que parecían mantas de heno. Todas las cosas se ponían en orden, como era menester, sin que el señor entendiese
