Translatioji, 



(Two brothers built) a hut for hunting (birds) on a river. They shot 

 birds. One of them wished to go up to see the sun. (When he reached 

 the sky) he saw ducks. He found something supernatural. (The ducks 

 •werie blind.) He cured them by spitting on their eyes. Then they 

 regained their eyesight. They called him Smoq'oa'ns. He returned and 

 his younger brother saw him. He went and told their father : "I saw my 

 elder brother." "Why do you tell such lies," replied the father. "I 

 speak the truth." "Then call him." " He says he will not come. He 

 does not want to enter a dirty room. He will come and enter when it is 

 clean." The father invited the people and they cleaned the house. The 

 people washed themselves. When they were ready he came. He entered. 

 He informed them how he had found a supernatural helper. He wished 

 to show his power to them and killed many ducks by the aid of his super- 

 natural helper, and he gave the meat to the people of his town. That is 

 all. Then he wished to return to the sun. His younger brother cried 

 and wished to accompany him, but he did not want him to go. He left 

 him and did not return. He became a supernatural being. He threw 

 down birds and made us Indians happy.
