him: ‘‘You take his feet.” Then they carried him out. When his 
feet came outside he broke wind and the Sea-lion fell down dead. 
Then Badger rose. They cut the Sea-lion up. Their house was full 
of meat and fat. Coyote spoke: ‘*Thus we shall always do when we 
get hungry.” They ate a long time and finished it. 
Then they became hungry again. Now the people began to know 
it: ‘‘ Behold! Coyote and Badger are killing people.” Coyote went 
to the water. A canoe passed. He tried to send word, but they 
did not speak to him. Still he stood near the water, but he did not 
see anyone. Then he gave it up and went up to the house. For 
two days he tried to send word. Then he gave it up and went up 
to the house. He did not see anything. 
Now they were hungry. Coyote mended his arrows. They went 
to shoot birds. Early in the morning they went. At night they 
came home. Badger had killed many, Coyote had killed one duck.
