Esto dice el que ve a alguno que tropezó o cayó o le vino algún daño, porque se huelga de aquel mal que le vino. Y de aquí dicen comúnmente: teca onitlatélchiuh. Quiere decir: "Holguéme del mal ajeno."
\nEste refrán dice el que con dificultad fue persuadido a que fuese a llamar a alguno, o que hiciese algo que él no quería a hacer, y cuando ya iba a llamar al que le mandan, el otro vino, o cuando ya iba a hacer lo que le mandaban, y luego le mandaron que le dexase. Dice: onotlatzihuizéhuac: "Hízose conforme a lo que mi pereza deseaba."
\nEste refrán dice el que le mandan hacer algo muchas veces y él no lo quiere hacer. Y para dar a entender que por más que se lo digan no lo hará, dice: muchi oquícac in nácel: "Todas las liendres que tengo en la cabeza han ya oído eso y están enhastiadas de oírlo." Dícese este adagio de aquellos que cualquiera cosa liviana se le hace grave de hacer.
