The rk.teoted t.over 



[Told by Abraham of Those-boni-at-QIa'dAsg.o.] 



At Q!ado' a certain person fell in love with a woman. She then 

 refused to have him, but she told him to pull out his hair, and then 

 she would fall in love with him. He went again to talk to her. She 

 then told him to pull out his eyebrows and his eyelashes; she would 

 then fall in love with him. After that he went again to speak with 

 her. That time she told him to pull out his nmstache and the hair on 

 his body. Only then, [she said], would she fall in love with him. After 

 that he again went to her. Then she absolutely refused him. 



He ceased going abroad among the people. When he needed any- 

 thing he always went out at night. He ])egan to work inside. He

He then had water brought and Ijegan to make his face look as it 

 ought to look. Each time he wet his hands he rubbed them upon his 

 eyes. When he had made him good-looking he began to comb his 

 hair. He ran the comb down along half of his head, and when it had 

 passed below he took it otf. And after he had done this to him three 

 times he stopped. After that he also made his e^^ebrows with the

When he first came in he said to him: "Grandson, news had come 

 that you were going to come up to let me set vou to rights. I will 

 make you quite proper. 



He straightway made him good-looking. He finished him. He 

 was there many nights. Then he gave the chief directions: "When
