ROBIN AND SALMON-BERRY (TOLD 1891) 
Robin and Salmon-berry were sisters. They lived on opposite 
sides of one house. Every day they went picking berries. In the 
evening they came home. Robin’s berries were all unripe, Salmon- 
berry’s were all ripe. Robin used to eat right away all the ripe 
ones that she found. They went out often. One day Robin said: 
‘‘Louse me.” Then Salmon-berry loused her. When she had 
finished, Salmon-berry said: ‘‘Now you louse me.” Robin loused 
her and said: ‘‘Oh, your louse is sweet.” In the evening they went 
home. On the next day they did the same thing again. First Robin 
was loused, and afterward she loused Salmon-berry. They went 
out often and Robin said: ‘‘Oh, younger sister, your louse is sweet.
