Stone had become very hot. Grizzly Bear said: | ‘‘Vll watch and 
bite Chief Ya.uk"e’;ka‘m.’”’ | Then Grizzly Bear opened his mouth, 
and Gray Stone | burst from the heat.1_ He flew into the mouth of 
Grizzly Bear. | Gray Stone went right through him, and came out || at 
his backside. Then Grizzly Bear fell back. | Gray Stone rolled himself 
about and said: | ‘‘I have soiled my flesh.” Thus Grizzly Bear was 
killed. Then | Grizzly Bear was changed into a grizzly bear. He 
was not a person | when he started from the tent. Then he changed 
into a grizzly bear, || and he remained a grizzly bear when Gray Stone 
had killed him. | He was no longer a man. | 
Chief Ya.uk"e’;ka‘m stood there. He thought: ‘My uncle Gray 
Stone is skillful. | He killed the grizzly bear. If it had not been for 
Gray | Stone, Grizzly Bear would have killed me.” Ya.uk"e’;ka‘m 
thought: || “Well, let me see my grandmother Frog. What may she 
do | if I go back to her tent?’’ He said: ‘Well, cut off the head of | 
the grizzly bear. I'll drag it tomy grandmother Frog. What | may 
she do for me?’ Then the head of the grizzly bear and its paws 
were cut off. Ya.uk"e’;ka°m dragged it along. He entered his 
OD = 
grandmother’s || tent. He said to her: ‘‘Grandmother, Grizzly Bear is 
pursuing me.”’ Frog said: | ‘‘O grandson, grandson! what can I do 
for you? | What am I? Why do you come back to me? | You should 
go back to your parents. Your uncle | Gray Stone is very skillful. 
He ought to kill Grizzly Bear.’ Frog arose. || She sang(?). She 
took red paint and painted her legs. | She took a sharp flat stone 
and put it up by the doorway. | She took her hammer and stood 
ready to strike Grizzly Bear. Frog did not | see the rawhide strap 
with which Ya.uk"e’;ka°m was dragging the head. | (The head) was 
lying in the doorway. When Ya.uk"e’;ka'm || saw his grandmother 
ready (to strike), he pulled the strap. | Then the grizzly-bear head 
dropped down under the door. | Grizzly Bear put his nose into the 
tent. Then Frog saw | Grizzly Bear put in his head where the flat 
stone lay. | Almost the whole head of Grizzly Bear came in. Frog 
thought: || ““The head might jump at my grandson,” | and she struck 
the grizzly-bear head. | When Frog was striking it, Ya.uk%e’;ka‘m 
pulled hard at | the strap and pulled the grizzly-bear head in. Just 
then Frog | struck it and hit her flat stone. She broke || the flat stone. 
Then Frog saw that her grandson | was fooling her. She cried be- 
cause | her grandson had done some damage. Therefore she cried. |
