The following morning the friends went to bathe in the creek. 
When they came home they made a fire and opened the roof of the 
house to admit the light. The mother of that youth said: ‘* Why did 
you laugh last night?” ‘*Oh, I was just laughing with my friend. 
Now call the old people.” Then she went to call the old people. 
The old women and the old men were called. All those people were

he said to his mother: ** Bring me a large mat.” His mother brought 
a good mat. Then he said to his father: ‘* Now look and see what is 
in this small mat.” The youth’s father took off his blanket and stood 
up in the middle of the house. The youth said: ‘‘Maybe I deceive 
you, but maybe it is true. I took the Hunger’s mat.” Then bones 
were poured out of the mat upon the large mat in the middle of the
