and said : — '' I cannot have him 

 ready." Again said (the wiz- 

 ard) : — " I shall come here once 

 more ; let him be ready " (then). 

 ^Then he leapt up through the 

 smoke-hole. 



III. ''The youth sat down 

 again and spoke thus with him- 

 self:—" " Truly he is awful. It, 

 must be that my uncle shall 

 leave me. What am I to do ? 

 I will go toward the setting sun. 

 (Perhaps) I may find people 

 (there)." "The young man 

 (then) departed, but he said to 

 his uncle: — *' I shall come 

 again." 



IV. " After journeying a little, 

 he came to a wigwam (where) a 

 small boy came out (and) said : 

 — ' * How is it with thine uncle ?' ^ 

 ^(The traveler) thought it 

 strange : — " Can one so odd 

 looking know all about our con- 

 dition ?' ' ° And he went on, and 

 again he found a wigwam where 

 there was a wizard, who at once 

 saw that he (the traveler) was in 

 trouble ; that he looked sad. 

 ■^Then the youth explained all 

 to him. He described to him 

 the terrible being. Immediately 

 that man knew that this was 

 Muttontoe (the evil spirit). ® So 

 he said to the young man : — 

 ''Do not think about it, I will 

 overcome him. I will tell thee 

 what thou shalt do, and I will 

 explain to thee how to overcome 

 him."
