very long feet had been along, leaving a trail. And he (the Rabbit), 
wished to know him. ‘ Now,” thought he, “I will goin advance of the 
person.” Having arisen very early in the morning, he departed. Again 
it happened that the person had been along, leaving a trail. Then he 
(the Rabbit) went home. Said he, “Grandmother, though I arrange 
for myself to go first, a person anticipates me (every time). Grand- 
mother, I will make a snare and catch him.” “ Why should you do it?” 
~said she. ‘I hate the person,” he said. And the Rabbit departed. 
When he went, the foot-prints had been along again. And he lay wait- 
ing for night (to come). And he made a noose of a bow-string, putting 
it in the place where the foot-prints used to be seen. And he reached 
there very early in the morning for the purpose of looking at his trap. 
And it happened that he had caught the Sun. Running very fast, he 
went homeward to tellit. “ Grandmother, I have caught something or 
other, but it scares me. Grandmother, I wished to take my bow-string, 
but I was scared every time,” said he. He went thither with a knife. 
And he got very near it. “You have done wrong; why have you done 
so? Come hither and untie me,” said the Sun. The Rabbit, although 
he went thither, was afraid, and kept on passing partly by him (or, con- 
tinued going by a little to one side). And making a rush, with his head 
bent down (and his arm stretched out), he cut the bow-string with the 
knife. And the Sun had already gone on high. And the Rabbit had 
the hair between his shoulders scorched yellow, it having been hot upon 
him (as he stooped to cut the bow-string). (And the Rabbit arrived at 
home.) “ Itcitci+!!O grandmother, the heat has left nothing of me,” 
said he. She said, “Oh! my grandchild! I think that the heat has left 
nothing of him for me.” (From that time the rabbit has had a singed 
spot on his back, between the shoulders.)
