therefore his sister said, "I will hold bun when be is running along the 

 sky." 



Then the people blessed the woman, and the father also blessed his 

 daughter. Next time when The One Who Walks All Over The Sky 

 started on his journey, Support Of Sun started too. She went south- 

 ward. Her brother rose in the east, and then the girl turned back 

 and ran to meet her brother. 



The woman said, "Wait for me untU I catch up with you! " She 

 ran as fast as she coidd, and held her brother in the middle of the sky. 

 For this reason the Sun stops for a little while in the middle of the sky. 



The woman stood firm, holding her brother. Therefore we see the 

 Sun stopping for a little while in the middle of the sky. 



Then the people saw the Sun stopping for a little while in the middle 

 ni' the sky, and they shouted for joy. Full of joy, they said, "Sup- 

 port Of Sun makes the Sun stop! Han!" and the whole crowd was 

 full of joy. 



Suddenly the chief began to scold his son, blaming his elder son 

 because he was not as skillful as his younger brother. Then the elder 

 one lay down prone, crying on account of what his father said to 

 him. When his brother, the Sun, came back, he lay down, for he was 

 tired. Walking About Early spoke to his little slave when everybody 

 was asleep, when all the house fellow's of his father were asleep. After 

 he had spoken, he rubbed charcoal over one side of his face, and said, 

 "When you see that I rise in the east," thus he spoke to his slave, 

 "jump up and shout, 'Hurrah! he has arisen!' That is what you are 

 to say." 



Then he left. The One Who Walks All Over The Sky slept like one 

 dead, because he was very tired. He allowed his shining face to shed 

 light out of the smoke hole. Then Walking About Early arose in the 

 east. That is where he arose. Then the little slave jumped up and 

 shouted, "Hurrah! he has arisen!" 



Several people asked him, "Why do you make such a noise, bad 

 slave V but his joy was only increasing. He jumped up, and pointed 

 out where the Moon was rising. Then suddenly the people looked up. 

 Behold! the Moon had risen. Then all the people shouted for joy, 

 and shouted, ' ' Hurrah ! ' ' 



After some tune all the different kinds of animals assembled to hold 

 a council. They agreed that the Sim should walk about every day, 

 that he should be the light of day, and that he should make everything 

 grow; and they also agreed in regard to the Moon. 



At that time they held a great council. All kinds of animals assem- 

 bled. Dogs were there also. The Dogs, on then part, were wiser than 

 all the other animals. Therefore they spoke first in the great coimcil 

 of the animals. The wise Dogs said, ' ' The Mo< in shall rise forty days."
