Once he and his two brothers and Brigida and their mother were camping at Tejachapi gather C?oyiq, a kind of seed. Many other people were also camped there. And one day Juan came to the children and said, "An epidemic is coming a very serious one, and many people are going to die. The only way that we can escape ourselves is by leaving at once. Mother is going to die anyway." The children told him that if their mother was going to die they might as well die too. But Juan said, "No, for you have many years yet to live, but she doesn't. Her time has come." The children answered that they would not leave their mother, but that he could go if he was afraid. "No, I will stay and care for her, " he told them. "But there is nothing to be done, for my ?atiswin has said that she is going to die." Shortly after this people began to fall sick one by one - very sick. And again Juan Moynal's ?atiswin told him, Take your kinsmen and go, or you will all die. Your mother is going to die anyway." Juan told the children that they must all leave at once, but they refused to go. Then Juan said, "Tonight mother is going to fall ill." And the next morning the mother woke up feeling sick, and again the ?atiswin warned Juan to take the children and go. "There is no hope for her now. Look at her. We must go, " he told them. They still refused to leave, but at dawn the next morning the old mother was dead. Juan Moynal again begged them to leave at once, but they would not go until the old woman was well buried and the house and all her belongings burned. Only then did they leave and come to Santa Inez, where Brigida and the two brothers were baptized. But when the epidemic was over Juan Moynal returned home to the Tejon - his ?atiswin told him to.
