496 IROQUOIAN COSMOLOGY [eth. ann. 43 



Then at that time this one said, "Now first I will rest," and then 

 he returned home. Then verily he again prepared food for himself. 

 Then again O'ha'a' scented an exceedingly sweet odor. Now he 

 scented all the various kinds of odors. At this time too he scented 

 the ripened fruits of the various shrubs planted by De'hae'"hiyawa"- 

 kho"'. Now at that time that one returned agam to the lodge where 

 they two dwelt together and said, "Oh, grandmother, it is a wonder- 

 ful matter; I have scented all kinds of sweet odors. It would seem 

 now, does it not, that again my brother is preparing there food for 

 himself?" Then at that time the old woman said, "Now, verily, 

 let us two go to that place; let us two go to see just what kind of 

 thing is going on there." 



So now they two started. They arrived at the place where De'- 

 hae'"hiyawa"kho°' went about. She was surprised that what was 

 going on was as wonderful as reported. All the vai'ious lands of 

 fruits were growmg and only sweet odors were borne about by the 

 wind. 



She saw that just beside the door of the lodge of De'hae'"hiyawa"-

De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' spoke and said, "It will be possible. But 

 it will also not be possible as to that one tree standing yonder, of

 Now at that time he plucked off grains of corn from his roasting ears, 

 and he gave each one. So then as to them they two ate. 



Now at that time De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' said, "Let us go out." 

 So then they went out. Now verily they severally stood there and 

 De'hae"'hiyawa"kho'" then said, "This was the first thing that I 

 planted and that is called sunflower." So then they passed on. 

 They had not gone very far when he said again, "I have planted this 

 wliich is called red willow." 



Now at that time again they passed on. They had not gone very 

 far when again he said, "I have planted this which is called red
