When the figure of the supernatural being danced, it went to and 
fro five times in the house. A little while they stayed outside. Then 
the man who had a supernatural helper began to sing. Then the one 
said to his friend: ‘* Now they let the figure of the supernatural being 
dance.” After a little while the people in the house began to cry 
Eh.” The figure of the supernatural being was moving, and then the 
two youths went to the door. They stayed there. Then they opened 
the door a little and one of them said to his friend: ‘*There, that 
supernatural being moves dancing in the house. Look!” Then his 
friend saw the figure of the supernatural being. Indeed, it was

friend: ‘* When it comes again we will strike it. You lift the door
