Give me your little brother; I will eat him.” The Panther was silent 
fora little while. He was afraid. The Grizzly spoke often and asked 
for the younger brother. Then the Panther spoke: ** Do you think a 
person will give up his own younger brother? Come in; we will fight.” 
Then the Grizzly Bear went in. They fought, and he almost threw the 
Panther, who got tired. Then he spoke to the Lynx: ‘t Where are 
you? The monster makes me tired.” Then the Lynx threw off the 
kettle, took an adz, and danced about. ‘* Elder brother, his legs are 
like water lilies,” he sang. ‘‘ You are dancing when I am tired,” said 
the Panther. Then the Lynx hit his leg. They killed the last one. 
Then the Lynx swam across and burned the old woman’s house. On 
the following morning the Panther said: ‘*T shall leave you. You 
shall live on these creeks. You shall catch silver-side salmon. You 
are bad; therefore I shall leave you. When I kill an elk, then you 
willeat it.” Then the Panther went away and left the Lynx.
