BOAS| KATHLAMET TEXTS 85 
Next morning they went again to shoot birds. At night they came 
home. Coyote had killed two, Badger had killed many. On the 
following day they went again and came back at night. Coyote had 
nothing, Badger had shot many. Thus it was every day. One night 
Coyote thought: ‘‘Let us exchange our buttocks,” and he said: 
“What do you think? Let us exchange our buttocks.” Badger 
replied: **I like my own buttocks. I know them; you do not know 
them.” The next day they went again and came back in the 
evening. Badger had caught many, and Coyote had two. Badger 
had no arrows. He just broke wind at those birds. Coyote had 
arrows, and behold, he got nothing. On the following morning it was 
just the same. Badger got many. Hemerely broke wind, and they were 
dead. Coyote sometimes got one, sometimes none. At night he said 
again: ‘Let us exchange our buttocks.” Badger said: ** No.” Every 
eyening Coyote said the same thing and made his brother tired.
