On the following day they went again to catch salmon. They tried 
to fish. The flood tide came and they had been unsuccessful. They 
went home. Coyote scolded. He defecated. ‘*Why do those sal- 
mon disappear?” ‘I told you, you lean fellow. Do you think it is 
the same as down the river? These people speak another language. 
When you have killed salmon, and you come home and you distribute 
them among the people, you must give each one a stick of roasted 
salmon. When there are many people in a family, you must give 
them two sticks. If any are left over, you must dry them right away. 
Do not dry them at ebb tide, but at low water. Extinguish your fire

Early the next morning they went again to catch salmon. They 
laid their net. There were many in it. They put their whole net
