‘**Where are you going?” ‘*Oh, we are going down to live in the 
hair of the people.” 
Then he went on again. He heard people singing. He came up to 
them. ‘‘Where are you going?” ‘*We are going down. We are 
going to eat the blood of the people.” [They were the fleas. | 
Again he went on. He heard people whispering. He met them. 
**Oh, where are you going?” ‘* Weare going down; we shall drink 
the blood of the people.” 
Then he went a long way. He met a man. Two arrows were 
sticking in his body. After a little while he met another man. He 
said: **O, my son-in-law, did you see my game?” ‘I did not see 
anything. I only met a person in whose body two arrows were stick- 
ing.” ** What [kind of animals] do you hunt? [I am hunting men. | 
When you go on, take our road; do not go the other way.” Now he 
went a short distance. Then he met a mountain goat. Two arrows 
stuck init. Then he saw another person. He said to him: ‘* Did you 
see Iny game, son-in-law?” ‘* Yes, I saw it.” ‘*Take our road there.”
