Translation. 



A man and his wife were in their house. Their child was crying. Then 

 a Snene'iq came and wanted to shoot the chihl. Then the man (whose 

 name was la'lit) shot the Snene'iq and killed him. He dug a hole in the 

 ground and buried him. When the young Snene'iq did not return his 

 father went down the river and cried. He sat down and cried. The 

 people who went up the river saw him. They became afraid and returned 

 home. Then la'lit went up the river and sat down with the Snene'iq and 

 bewailed with him his lost child. When they stopped the Snene'iq said 

 to la'lit : "My dear, I desired to cry with you. I do not know where 

 my child is. It may be it is dead. I will give you my child's copper and 

 you shall be a chief in his place. Do you see my son's house. There it 

 is." la'lit replied : "I do not see it." "I will rub over your eyes, then 

 you will see my son's house." "JSTow I see your son's house." "I will 

 give you my son's house, and you will be a chief. Four times you shall 

 build a house. Now I will leave this country and go to ISTaus." la'lit 

 found Snene'iq's house and carried it down the river. The house was on 

 top of the mountain.
