Sometimes when the Sun is glad lie adorns himself. He takes 

 his sister's red ocher to paint his face. Then the people know what 

 kind of weather it is going to be on the following day. When the 

 people see the red sky in the evening, they know that it will be good 

 weather the following day; and when they see the red sky in the 

 morning, they know that the weather is going to be bad the whole 

 da}-. That is what the people say. 



The girl, on her part, was cast down. Therefore one day she, on 

 her part, went westward. She wrung out her garments and struck 

 the water with them. Then she returned. The chief, her father, 

 asked her, "Whence did you come, child?" Thus spoke her father, 

 the chief, to the girl. 



Then the girl said, "I just went westward." She was standing 

 near her father's great fire, warming herself. She wore her gar- 

 ments, and shook the water out of her garments upon her father's 

 fire. Then suddenly a fog came out of the house, and the whole tribe 

 enjoyed the fog. 



The people were refreshed, because it was very hot, and they 

 agreed that the girl had refreshed them. That is where fog comes 

 from nowadays; it comes from the west. Therefore the chief, the 

 father, was glad when he saw that his children were wise. He gave 

 to his eldest son the duty to watch that people may know the year. 

 To the next one, The One Who Walks All Over The Sky, he gave the 

 duty to make all good tilings, such as fruit, appear on the earth, 

 and to make everything plentiful: and lie blessed his daughter be- 

 cause she refreshed with cool fog those who were tired. That is the 

 end.

Once upon a time there was a great chief who built his house on a 

 sandy beach. He had four nephews. Every morning in winter the 

 chief called his four nephews and sent them to get fuel. The young 

 men also built a new large house. When the north wind blew hard, 

 and when it was very cold, so that the water of the sea almost froze, 

 the uncle would say, "I want you to be stronger than any one else. 

 When you are very strong, I shall invite all the chiefs and their 

 warriors to fight against you. Therefore build a large fire. Go 

 down to the water, and bathe in the sea. Then I shall come down 

 and whip you with a bundle of twigs." After he had finished this 

 speech, he said, "Will you now go down to bathe?" 



So the eldest one went out first , went into the ice-cold water, and 

 the second and third brothers also went ; but the fourth, the youngest , 

 would not go. He would lie in the corner of his uncle's house. They 

 say that he had never taken a bath, even once, ever since he was born.
