  1. THIS, then, is the blowgun shooting of Seven Macaw by the twins. We shall
  2. now tell the story of the defeat of each of the prideful ones.
  3.  
  4. This is Seven Macaw and a great nance tree. This, then, is the food of Seven
  5. Macaw. Each day he would rise up to the top of the tree to knock down some of the fruit
  6. of the nance tree, and it is there that he was seen by Hunahpu and Xbalanque.
  7.  
  8. The twins watched for him beneath the tree, hidden in its leaves. At length Seven
  9. Macaw perched on the nance tree to feed and was shot by them. Hunahpu directed a
  10. pellet straight from his blowgun into his jaw. Seven Macaw cried out, sailing over the
  11. top of the tree and landing on the ground.
  12.  
  13. Quickly, Hunahpu ran out to grab him. But instead Seven Macaw tore off the arm
  14. of Hunahpu. He wrenched it back, bending it back at the shoulder until it was torn free
  15. from Hunahpu.
  16.  
  17. Still, it was good what they did. This first episode will not result in their defeat by
  18. Seven Macaw, even though he took away the arm of Hunahpu.
  19.  
  20. So then Seven Macaw went to his home, holding his jaw in his palms.
  21.  
  22. “What have you got there?” asked Chimalmat, the wife of Seven Macaw. “What
  23. is it?”
  24.  
  25. “Two demons shot me. My jaw was dislocated by them, and now my teeth
  26. torment me with pain. This I have brought to hang over the fire. It will dangle over the
  27. fire until they come to take it back again. Truly they are demons,” said Seven Macaw as
  28. he hung the arm of Hunahpu.
  29.  
  30. Then Hunahpu and Xbalanque planned again. They went to speak to the one
  31. Grandfather, whose hair was now truly white, and also the one Grandmother, who was
  32. now truly humble. They were people who now walked bent over with age. Great White
  33. Peccary was the name of the Grandfather, and Great White Coati was the name of the
  34. Grandmother.
