MICHELSON. ] THE SINGING AROUND RITE. 573 
He who made us will not fail to know about us. He will break off 
a little of the life of he who said anything to you and will place it in 
the midst of your life. That is another thing which we are told. 
“And if you are not fond of anything, if you are generous (?), if 
someone suddenly shall want it, if you have it and give it to him, 
you will get it back. That is how it is. For the manitou will 
replace it for you. You will not realize it but that is how you will 
get it back. (And similarly with regard to) food, when any one 
suddenly arrives, if you are married to anyone, you must say to her, 
‘feed him,’ so we are told. And if you do so, you will never lack 
anything, so say our elders, my grandchild,’”’ he was told by his 
grandfather. 
“And when you marry, you must treat (your wife) kindly. (By 
so doing) you will please the relatives of whomever you marry. And 
if by chance you have children, as long as they are very small, if 
they are playing with anyone, if they are made to cry by (other) 
children, do not be angry. For children do not know any better. 
It is only while they cry. After they stop crying right away they 
again begin to play. That is why children are only caressed. Some 
who have children get angry when these are made to ery. Those 
who do so do not do well. That is how it is, my grandchild,” he 
was told. 
“T have now told you everything. I desire you to do as I have 
told you from time to time. And this: You must fast still two 
years as I have told you. I indeed think, ‘I hope my grandchild 
will obey me,’ with reference to what I say to you. As for me, I 
do not care to live as it is with too great difficulty that I can mingere 
et cacare. I shall leave you, my grandchild, the day when this 
warm weather ceases,”’ he was told by his grandfather. 
“Tf by chance you have children you must tell them the same 
things and you must make them fast. For you know how this 
fasting is,” he was told. 
Whenever they were alone he was always told (these things). 
Sure enough in the fall soon his grandfather remained asleep. He 
was much grieved over him. And when it began, in a way, to be 
colder and colder, some Indians moved. And he said to his parents, 
“Why, pray, is it that we are not in the habit of moving?” “It is 
very hard far off. Some who move continue to be killed. And we 
are not in want. Always when you hunt you bring in game,”’ they 
said. “I also should like the experience of moving,’ he said to 
them. “Oh, well, we shall move. It was just because your grand- 
father was too feeble that we did not move,” he was told.
