Then the old man said: ‘*O, grandson; you have come at last. [Your 
brothers] left this elk skin for me. They went to the place where 
the women are picking berries. You also shall leave food for me. 
I always try to shoot elks, but I can not kill them.” ‘‘ All right”

went inland. [The old man] said: ‘‘Stand here.” He stood there. 
Then a person shouted: ‘*Ah, an elk is coming!” He looked; an elk

him. Then it devoured him right there. [The old man] took off his 
felk| skin and carried it back home, where he dried his skin.
