The Finder of Lost Things
I will tell about the one who could find things:
It is said the finder of lost things was Tináiné.
They would say: ‘Bring Tináiné to find the lost thing.’
And when they brought Tináiné, Tináiné would take himself right to where the lost thing was.
And he would say: ‘Here is your lost thing.’
And so, the finder of ‘lost things’ was Tináiné.
