BOAS] KATHLAMET TEXTS 838 
Porpoise fell down dead. Coyote said: ‘*Thus we will do when we 
get hungry.” They cut up the Porpoise, and after several days they 
had finished it. 
They got hungry again, and Coyote said: ‘*What do you think? 
We will send word to the Sea-lion.” Badger replied: ‘*I think so.” 
Then Badger tied a rope around his waist, and Coyote went seaward, 
where he stood by the water. He stayed a long time. He saw a 
‘anoe passing. He shouted: ‘* Tell the Sea Lion to come and see our 
younger brother!” They said to Coyote: ‘*We will tell him.” 
Coyote went up to the house and said to his younger brother: 
Take care!” He stood there a long time, then he saw a canoe with 
one man in it. The Sea-lion landed and went up. He tried to 
enter Coyote’s house, but he stuck in the doorway. They took out 
two vertical planks; then he was able to go in. The Sea-lion stayed 
a long time. Then Badger began to groan and said: ‘‘I want to go 
out! I want to go out!” Coyote said: ‘‘He always tells me so and 
makes me tired. He asks me to haul him and carry him out. Help
