close your eyes; open your mouth.” Then he made a ball of haws 
and put thorns into them, and threw the ball down into her mouth. — It 
stuck in her throat. Thenshe cried: ‘* Water, grandchild; water, grand- 
child!” Often she said so. Then wings began to grow on her. Now 
he climbed down and searched for water. He did not find it. Then 
she began to fly, and he said to her: ** Partridge(?) shall be your name. 
You shall not eat acorns.” 
Then Raccoon went on. He went a long distance. He came to a 
house and entered. Then he saw the Grizzly Bear in there. Then he 
thought: ‘‘He will eat me. Behold! I came into the house of a 
monster.” The Grizzly Bear said: ‘‘Where do you come from, 
brother? Your face is painted prettily.” The Raccoon said: **I was 
painted a little while before I came.” ‘*Oh, paint me also, brother.”
