  When 
  the 
  song 
  had 
  been 
  sung 
  they 
  circled 
  the 
  fire 
  by 
  the 
  left, 
  

   returned 
  the 
  stick 
  to 
  the 
  host, 
  and 
  then 
  took 
  their 
  accustomed 
  seats. 
  

  

  A 
  servant 
  was 
  next 
  dispatched 
  with 
  the 
  wooden 
  bowl 
  to 
  fill 
  it 
  with 
  

   water. 
  This 
  bowl 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  represent 
  the 
  earth, 
  which 
  held 
  the 
  lake 
  

   spoken 
  of 
  in 
  the 
  story, 
  and 
  the 
  water 
  had 
  to 
  be 
  taken 
  from 
  a 
  spring, 
  

   a 
  lake, 
  or 
  other 
  quiet 
  body. 
  When 
  the 
  servants 
  returned 
  with 
  the 
  

   bowl 
  the 
  water 
  was 
  examined 
  by 
  the 
  officer 
  whose 
  duty 
  it 
  was 
  to 
  

   attend 
  to 
  having 
  the 
  water 
  correctly 
  furnished. 
  Meanwhile 
  the 
  

   officer 
  who 
  had 
  the 
  right 
  to 
  place 
  the 
  four 
  "children" 
  before 
  the 
  fire 
  

   went 
  to 
  the 
  man 
  representing 
  the 
  "eldest 
  son," 
  who 
  arose 
  and 
  fol- 
  

   lowed 
  the 
  officer. 
  They 
  two 
  circled 
  the 
  fire 
  and 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  place 
  

   where 
  the 
  "second 
  son" 
  sat. 
  He 
  arose 
  and 
  followed 
  them, 
  and 
  the 
  

   three 
  circled 
  the 
  fire 
  and 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  "daughter." 
  She 
  arose, 
  fell
