[They said:] ‘‘ We cut all their bowstrings.” Robin had disappeared, 
and they said: ‘* Perhaps they have killed him.” Then they attacked 
the town. After awhile Robin went home. His belly was burnt red 
by the fire. Then these people were killed. They tried to span their 
bows, but they had no strings. The women intended to put on their 
coats and to run away, but the strings were cut. They stayed there 
and they were killed. The Eagle took the eldest Southwest wind by 
its head; the Owl took another one, the Golden Eagle a third one, 
the Turkey the fourth one, and the Chicken-hawk took the youngest 
one by its head. After a little while the four [elder ones] were killed. 
Then the youngest one escaped from the Chicken-hawk. The one 
which the Turkey [held] would have escaped, if they had not helped 
him. Only the youngest Southwest wind escaped from them. Then 
the people went home. Blue-jay went down first. His foot was sore.
