always remain in here. They never come out. Now, come on, let us 

 be back. Thus you wanted to understand this." Now he left him. 

 Now he returned to the other Kwanitaka, and he arrived there. And 

 he again said, "Have you come?" "Yes," said the young man, and 

 again he led him to a road, directing him to the other of the two roads. 

 "That way you go," he said, and now he came somewhere to a village, 

 but it was a large village. They lived there in white houses only. 

 There at the extreme edge of the village a Kwanitaka was going up 

 and down. He said, "Have you come? Come this way," and then 

 took hold of him and took him to the village. He arrived there. 

 There another chief, a Kwanitaka, stood close at the village. "Have 

 you come?" he said to them. "Yes," they answered together, where- 

 upon he said, "Now please enter." Upon that this other also took 

 hold of the young man and they entered, and sure enough, there also 

 some were living and he knew them. He had been a chief in Oraibi 

 a longtime ago. Now the Kwanitaka said to the young man. "This 

 way, this you wanted to know." But in a large blossom he was living. 



That deceased chief and three other chiefs were living in blossoms 

 that were standing one after the other. "Thanks," said the Kwani- 

 taka, "these were never bad in Oraibi; they were always good, there-

 here," said the Kwanitaka. "This you wanted to know, hence now 

 you look well. When you return you tell them. You see if any one 

 is not wicked there in Oraibi he shall certainly come here. Here you 

 have seen it. You see, there a road has been prepared for them. 

 Now as soon as you arrive you tell them everything about this our 

 life here, and if some one thinks to himself (has his welfare at his heart) 

 he must live accordingly. Thus you wanted it. Because you have 

 entered our dwellings here everywhere you have found out every- 

 thing, but as soon as you think of coming here sometime, you must 

 eat a little of your medicine again, but you must tell this to your 

 mother and your father and to them, but they must never do that 

 way, and if they do not believe my talk they shall never live with us 

 here. Now then, proceed. Run fast, as your father and mother are 

 waiting for you." 



Now then, from there he ran very fast. He arrived at the Kwan- 

 mongwi, where the road divided. He said to him, ' ' Have you come ? " 

 "Yes," the young man said. "Very well," he replied, "run fast now, 

 your father and mother are waiting for you." He now came run- 

 ning very fast. At Aodtovi he again came upon them who were
