then he came home. They had only potentilla roots to eat. It grew 
dark, and they lay down. Coyote had his bed on one side of the 
house, Raccoon on the other side. Raccoon said: **Oh, if my pillow 
would be full of five salmon backs to-morrow morning!” Coyote 
replied: ** Yes, if that were so, younger brother! If my pillow would 
be full of ten salmon backs!” Day came, and then Raccoon searched 
under his pillow. There were five salmon backs under his pillow. 
Coyote looked under his pillow, but there was nothing. Now they 
two ate. Raccoon went again to the cache and ate there all day. 
Then he went home. He carried five dried summer salmon. Near 
the house he hid them, and his elder brother had only potentilla 
roots to eat. Again it grew dark, and Raccoon said: ‘*Oh, if I could 
find five dried summer salmon under my pillow!” Coyote said: 
‘‘Indeed, my brother, if that were true! If I could find ten summer 
salmon under my pillow!” Now Raccoon was awake and Coyote slept.
