down near the fire. He blew into the fire and was covered with ashes. 
In the evening he heard his younger brother groaning. Raccoon 
entered. Then Coyote arose and said: ** My younger brother, I told 
you not to go there; the Wa’LtaXtaX would meet you. They look 
just like me.” Now it got dark and Coyote tried to cure him. The 
peritoneum protruded from his skin. Then he sucked at it and pulled
