knew that Sun was asleep. | It was not long before it was night. 
Then he took the | drying frame. He went out and started. He 
thought: | ‘‘Let me go far away.’ Then he started. He went 
along. || He ran. Then in the morning he thought | that he was far 
away. He lay down. He was tired. Then at once he fell asleep. | 
_ He continued to sleep. Then he was awakened by the noise of talk- 
ing. | He arose, and there he was where he had started from. He 
took the | drying frame. He said: ‘What is he trying to do with me ?”’ 
and hung it up. || His father-in-law, Sun, said to him: ‘‘Why are you | 
doing that? Do you want to go out of this my tent? | If you start 
here from the inside of my tent, when you lie down there, and if 
you | think this will be your clothing, then take it and go. | Don’t stop 
at night. Keep on walking || a whole day and a whole night, until 
morning. | Do not le down the whole day and the whole night. | Don’t 
stop anywhere until the next night. | Then walk through that night 
until the morning. Just at noon | you may sit down, if you think 
that you will sleep. Then it will be good. || You will be out of my 
tent. Then I shall not take it back.”’ | 
Now I have told you all. |
