One guy lived with his wife, not knowing that at night, while he slept, her head was separated from her body and went in search of human flesh.
One night this man woke up and found his wife lying next to him, but without her head. Very alarmed, he stood up and smeared hot pepper on her neck. Thus, when the head returned and wanted to take its place again, it could no longer do this, since the neck had shrunk.
But it so happened that, in revenge, the head jumped onto the shoulder of her husband, who from that time on was forced to wear two heads.
To correct this situation, the man asked for help from his brother, whose spirit companion was a deer.
One day a man told his wife's head that they would go and collect the fruits of the sapote tree.
Having found a tall sapote tree, the guy climbed up it, and his wife’s head, fearing that she would spin at the height, jumped off and remained under the tree. From above, a man began to throw fruits onto the ground, and the head was afraid that he would fall into it.
At that moment a large deer appeared and its head jumped onto its back. He rushed away with her, going deeper into the forest. Having reached the lake, the deer plunged into its waters, and the head, choking, died.
And the guy was very glad that he got rid of the second head in this way.
