MYTH OF THE EARTH-GRASPER 557 



Then at that time he again spoke and said, "So tlieu now we two, 

 personally, will depart from this earth present here below. Now thou 

 and I will go to that place where our Grandmother again abides." 



Now at that time O'ha'it' (Flmt) said, "I would just make a request 

 of thee that thou and I should yet once more travel about over the 

 whole island. Verily, just after thou and I arrived here there was 

 nothing that had been done. And what during the time that thou and 

 I didst travel about, and also all the things at which thou and I did 

 work and did finish, we.will view again. So then they will verily be 

 m the habit of telling stories about them, and they will also serve to 

 cause them to remember us habitually." Now De'hae'"hiyawa"kho°' 

 said, "It shall just so come to pass; I agree to the matter." 



Now at that time they two went to travel about. And when they 

 two returned again then De'hae°'hiyawa'"kho°' said, "Moreover, now 

 you two must watch with care, thou Odendonniha and thou too 

 Awenhaniyonda, when I will go home then you two shall think of me. 

 So then I have left beside your bodies native tobacco of the Great 

 Precious Smoke. Do you two not forget it when your two minds will 

 turn toward that place where my body will be present. So then you 

 two will make your Word of that habitually; indeed, I will hear fully

 them from having their eyes fixed upon the earth here present. So 

 it will come to pass in the future, at some future day, when you two 

 shall continue to go about with your ohwachira (family) that then 

 again I will come here." Now at that time he said, "Now, then, 

 you two must watch carefully as he and I will leave footprints. There 

 shall be a path, and it shall be clearly in view, whither he and I will 

 have gone again. When it will become dark on the earth the course 

 of the path will be fully visible. So then that will continue to be 

 the path for those dwelling here; so that when customarily the 

 time will have arrived, and their number of days will have been 

 filled, that that will be the path that they will take when they will 

 again be going to the other world present there. So then there in 

 that place j^ou shall again see me personally. So then one thing you 

 will continue to watch, when you will hear toward the west those who 

 utter their voices from place to place sing, that you will continue to 

 say that always without change they will come thence habitually; 

 and it will thus continue to be so long as the earth will continue to 

 be present here. So then you will now continue to have it as a token
