people. They went there, | and started afire. Then they saw tracks 
of people. | Wolf Hat said: ‘Let us start, here | where I am going. 
You go along.” It was very dark. Then | Wolf Hat started. He 
went along. ‘Wolf Hat smelled || the people. They went along. 
Then | in the morning the wide trail of the warriors was seen. | There 
also were warriors. They were going to fight against the Kutenai. ! 
They followed the trail, going along. | 
The friends went ahead to see what was going on. One was named|| 
Lamb Hat, the other was named Raven Hat. | They went to a val- 
ley and went on. After they reached the other side, | one of them 
said: “Go, friend! I can not do much with you, | friend.’”’ He saw 
that down below there was a town. | They were about to put up a 
tent. One man pointed right toward them. || Then Lamb Hat and 
Raven Hat stopped. | They stood there. Whentheone person pointed

is there. The other one is a stump. | You see, a bird flew to it.’’ | 
Then they laughed. T he one who had seen it thought: | ‘“They were 
persons. When the lamb goes behind there, | it will become a man; 
and when the bird flies away, || it will also become a man again.”’ | 
Then the friends Lamb Hat and Raven Hat | saw each other. 
They said: ‘‘Indeed, I did something.” The other one | said: ‘‘In-

deed, I also did something.”” They talked together. | ‘Indeed, let
