wife: **Call all the people.” Then that woman called all the people. 
She took a mat and poured out the strawberries. Her husband said: 
‘It is frost with us only. It is summer. You see those strawberries. 
The Wa’kjanasisi are catching salmon and are laughing at us. It is 
frost with us only. Let us buy that boy.” Then they tried again to 
buy that boy. They gave many dentalia to his father and to his 
mother. **If you don’t sell your boy, you will be killed.” Then they 
gave up that boy. He was carried out to the sea and placed on the 
ice. Then they heard him cry. At midnight he was dead. Rain 
began to fall and it rained for along time. The ice and the snow 
began to melt. It was good weather. It was midsummer right away. 
Then the people moved. They went to the bay and caught spring 
salmon. They caught sturgeon and they ate. Then they dried the 
salmon and the sturgeon.
