Crab’s fingers were lying there. The Seal took them up and put 
them on again. Then the Seal carried the salmon up. They cut them 
up and roasted them. The Crab said: ‘‘I will eat their heads. I will 
eat their tails. I will eat their roe. I will eat their stomachs. I will 
eat their hearts. I will eat their livers.” Now the salmon were done. 
The Crab ate two hearts and one liver, then she had enough. Her 
elder sister, the Seal, said to her: ‘* Eat, eat, else you will be hungry.” 
The Seal ate all the salmon. Now the sister closed her house. She 
closed even the smallest holes. The Seal spoke to her younger sister: 
**Do not go outside for two days.” Now the Seal forgot to look after 
her sister. She heard her shouting and looked for her. She had dis- 
appeared. She had gone out. Then the Seal went out and listened. 
She heard her sister oe somewhere down the river, where
