told | by his grandmother what he would do.. Then, after he had 
looked at the || old man, he went down the river. He saw a tent | 
standing there, andentered. Then there was a snowstorm. It was 
very | cold. He was told to come in. ‘Ha! why | should my 
nephew be lying here?’’ He was told: ‘“‘Come in here | to your 
brothers and sisters!’’ Then Ya.uk"e’;ka‘m lay down, || and they 
warmed him. He staid there and struck his testicles. | When 
Bighorn went up again, he lay down and threw warm things on 
him, | and he threw them on himself. Thus he was not cold. | 
He always did so. The old man lay there while the tent owner 
was striking | his testicles. The old man said: ‘‘ Hoi, || there is noise 
of bursting eyes!” Ya.ukte’;ka‘m was a full-grown | man. After 
and Big- 
a long time the tent owner again struck his testicles, 
horn said again what he had said before. | Now he said: ‘Don’t let 
it be cold any more!’’ Then the old man | called his manitous. 
Ya.ukve’;ka'm was told: || ‘Go on; go there quickly! The old man 
will soon be on this side of the water. | When you get there and he 
comes ashore, don’t let him see you. Then, | when he goes up, go 
behind and get into | hiscanoe. Then go backinthe canoe. Do the 
same as he did | when he wanted to kill you. You shall do the same. 
When || you get across in the canoe, then go up and throw | warm 
things on yourself. Then listen; and when you hear | again noise of 
eyes bursting, | thensay: ‘Don’t let it be cold any more.’ | Then come 
back in your canoe and go up. || He will be lying there, and he will be- 
come a mountain sheep. Then take | the arrow straightener.’ Thus 
Yfuke’jka‘m had been told. Then | hestarted. He got there, and 
he saw the oldman just | coming back to this side in his canoe. (The 
old man) did not see him. He went up the cliff | on the bank of the 
river. Now Ya.uk"e’;ka‘m went aboard and went back. || His penis 3 
that he had moved in the water | and that he shook in the water was 
lying in the canoe. Then Ya.uk*e’;ka‘m took it. | The old man 
looked at his canoe, and Ya.uk*e’;ka‘m was already | on the water. 
(The old man) had not been able to killhim. Hesaid to him: | ‘‘Come 
back tothe shore!’? (Ya.uk"e’;ka*m) did not look at the oldman, who 
said this many times. || When he was in the middle of the water, he 
stopped there | and took the old man’s penis. The old man said: | 
“Don’t touch the thing that lies there, son.”’ | Then, when he touched 
it, he said: ‘‘Don’t put it into the water.’”’ When | he put it into the 
water, Ya.uk"e’;ka°m sang. He said:|| 
‘<T always take them across in my canoe, he he ha, he he ha!”’ | 
Then the old man cried. Ya.uk"e’;ka‘m went back ashore. |
