And the Creator wants to know,
already how much is the greed of the people,
and so he gathers the people,
and places various kinds of cobs in front of them:
little, big, short, long, thin, thick,
and orders them
to choose
the people jostle, trample each other
for the cobs, the people mill about,
they take the big one, a long, thick one,
but the Hopi people choose a thin, short cob
because it is the toughest,
and best expresses their belief
and deference towards the Creator.
Translated from Hungarian by me
