be killed,” said his mother. Then they returned. They went down 
the river. They arrived at the beach in front of that town. Then the 
Rabbit took his arrows. He spoke: ‘*‘Give me my skin, or I shall kill 
you.” One person said: **Maybe he will kill us, indeed. Behold, 
he arose although he has no skin.” They tried to give him a raccoon 
skin, but he said: ‘‘It is bad. I do not want it.” They tried to 
give him a beaver skin. He said: ‘‘It is bad.” They tried to give 
him a lynx skin. He tried to put it on, but he said: ‘*It is bad; it 
hurts me.” They tried to give him an otter skin. It was bad, he did 
not want it. They gave him one-half of his skin. Then he pulled it 
on one side so that it became thin. Then it fitted him. He put it on. 
Now he and his mother went home. They came to their house. She 
said to him: ‘Do not go any more; you will be killed for good.” Then 
he did not go any more, because he had been troubled; he was afraid. 
That is the story; to-morrow we shall have good weather.
