43. BIG HEAD AND GOAT HORN.' 



Haliksai! In Orafbi they were living. East of the Kwan kiva 

 a youth lived, by the name of Big Head (Wuydkqoto). Away south 

 are the Hopi Buttes, and on the westernmost butte lived Goat Horn 

 (Chiwakala). These two were friends, but as they lived so far apart 

 they did not visit each other often; but one time Gk)at Horn visited 

 his friend in Oraibi. After they had eaten and talked together, to- 

 wards evening Goat Horn wanted to return home. "My friend," 

 he said to Big Head. "What is it?" the latter replied. "You must 

 come and visit me sometime, too," Goat Horn said ; whereupon he went 

 home. After a while Big Head visited his friend, and stayed all night 

 there. In the morning Goat Horn killed a goat for his friend, cut it 

 in two, and gave him one-half, which Big Head took with him to 

 the village; and that is the reason why Hopi, when they kill a goat, 

 cut it up. 



44. kavushkavuwnOm and shovi'viounOm.2 



Haliksai! In Oraibi they were living. At Bayavushtuhco lived 

 a woman by the name of Kavushkavuwnom, and at Odnmuru lived a 

 woman by the name of Shoviviounom. These two women were great 

 friends. They usually got water at Spider Spring (K6hkangva). One 

 time Kavushkavuwnom was getting water again, and as she was re- 

 turning her friend Shovfviounom met her, also getting water. The 

 latter asked her in a half -singing manner: "What now [in order] to 

 cook, you get water?" (Hihta vula kwiw^nikae kiiyito?) Whereupon 

 Kavushkavuwnom replied: "A dish of young squashes" (Ngam6o- 

 chona). Shoviviounom hereupon said: "So you are going to feast?" 

 (Aha, hdlihi kurzh pas um ch6nni?) "Yes," the other one replied, 

 "you must come this evening and visit me," whereupon they sepa- 

 rated, the one going home with her water, and the other one going 

 after water. 



When Shoviviounom returned with her water she went to grinding 

 corn and prepared some huriishuki. Of this she put some into a tray 

 and proceeded to the house of her friend, Kavushkavuwnom, who had 

 invited her to come over. The latter had in the meanwhile prepared 

 her dish of young squashes. This she put into a bowl and the two 

 then sat down and ate the squashes and the hunishuki. While they 

 were eating they conversed together, and when they were through and 

 Shoviviounom had visited for a little while, she returned to her home.
