Now at this time verily he made another one. Just as soon as he 

 completed it he again said, "Listen, do thou stand upright. Do 

 thou walk also." Now he stood upright and O'ha'a' said, "There 

 *thou shalt go from place to place on the earth present here." Now 

 at that time he whose body he had made now walked. O'ha'a' 

 watched him and at that time he said, "Now is it possible I have per- 

 haps done correctly? So now T will make in its turn another thmg, 

 a game animal." 



At that time he made that thing. As soon as he completed it he 

 said, "Listen, do thou stand up. Do thou also walk. Thou shalt 

 bo called Deer." At that time it stood upright and it now ran and 

 now it cried out. Now at that time again he made another. When 

 he completed it he said, "Come, now do thou arise and do thou walk. 

 Bear shall be thy name." 



Then it arose and it walked away. At that time he now was sur- 

 prised that his brother, De'hae'"hiyawa"kho°', was coming. 



As soon as he arrived O'ha'ii' said, "Now I myself in my turn will 

 show thee the kind of things which I have made." At that time they 

 two started walking. In a short time now they arrived on the lake 

 shore and then O'ha'a' said, "There, verily, is seated the human 

 being whose body I first made." Then De'hae°'hiyawa,"kho'" 

 looked and saw him seated there at the edge of the water, and so 

 then he said, "What manner of thing art thou doing seated down 

 there?" Then it answered and cried out. Now he said, "Come, do 

 thou walk." Now as to that it leaped and plimged into the water 

 out of sight. In a short while it stuck its head out. At that time 

 De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' said, " Verily that thing is not a human being. 

 That thing will be called Hwa'en' (a kind of frog)." 



Then O'ha'ii' said, "I have made, as is known, another human 

 being." Now again they two went on. Not far away O'ha'a' then 

 said, "There verily, he sits up there." Then De'hae°'hiyawa"kho'" 

 said, "That, verily, is not a human being. Verily he has a tail, and 

 fur grows on his body." Now agaua he spoke and said, "What man- 

 ner of thing art thou doing sitting up there?" Then he just cried out 

 from there and he wept. Now De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' said, "A 

 monkey they shall call thee, because thou dost weep so easily." 



Then at that time again they two went on. At a short distance 

 away there sat a human being. So then O'ha'a' said, "There, 

 verily, sits another human being whose body I finished." As soon as 

 De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' saw it he said, "Wliat kind of thing art thou 

 domg here seated on the ground?" Then at that time he burst out 

 in a loud noise and he wept. Now De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' said, 

 "Verily it is not good in this that thou art making attempts to make 

 a human being. That which thou hast made is not correct. This 

 one whom I nave seen has an extremely loud screech. So that one 

 shall be called the great monkey (ape)."
