RE: The Little Donkey and the Tuna Plant
Thanks, @hlezama ☻ Good point! It seems the perfect punishment for the man having to be at the service of those in need of help.
You know, the magic which turned the man into a tuna plant apparently came from the honeycomb built by "matajey wasps":
En sus tallos las avispas matajey fabricaron un panal de rica miel. El cardón se llenó de frutos rojos y maduros que los pájaros nunca picotearon y el sol nunca resecó.
Any ideas about wasp- or honey- power?
Well, wasps and bees has been represented in some mythologies as symbols of fertility, order, team work and selflessness. It would make sense in this context.
The matajey honey has alwayshad a certain mysticism because of its exclusiveness/rarity. Not many wasps make good honey or honey at all and these ones guard their nests viciously.
My father was one stung so badly that when he came back home we did not recognize him. His face was totally disfigured by the swelling.
Whoever was able to get matajey honey was a vergatario (this was before chavez ruined the term for us).
