Coyote stayed there some time, when he saw a canoe. He told his 
younger brother: ** A canoe is coming, with one man in it. I think

want to go out! I want to go out!” ‘*Thus he always tells me, and 
he makes me tired. He asks me to haul him and carry him out. Help 
me. Let us carry him out.” Then the Seal rose. Coyote told him: 
**You take his feet.” Then they carried him out. When his feet
