10 do not do that when weai"e invited. Come || to the place where you 

 will sit down!" Thus he said. And immediately | Canuibal-at- 

 North-End-of- World came and sat down on the mats spread out in 

 the I settee. At his left side was his son; and | his wife, Qflx'Elal, sat 

 down on the other mat. Now, | Canni])al-at-North-En(l-of-World 



15 lay back; and Nenwacjawa spoke, || and said, "Now I shall talk I 

 the way we do whenever we have guests. We always tell a story 

 first I for our guests. Now, listen, son-in-law!" Thus he said, | 

 and NEnwaqawa began to tell a story to Cannibal-at-North-End-of- 



20 World.' I He had not been telling his story long, before || Cannibal-at- 

 North-End-of- World became sleepy, and also his wife and his son, | 

 and NEnwaqawa continued telling his story. Now, NEnwaqawa | 

 purposely pressed his knee against the knee of tlie one to whom he 

 told the story — namely, | Cannibal-at-North-End-of- World — and he 

 never moved. | Tlien he began to snore. Then NEnwaqawa called 



25 his sons. || They came and took off the boards covering the hole 

 with the fire in the bottom; | and the three sons took hold each of a 

 corner of the mat on which he lay with his | son, and threw them into 

 the fire in the bottom of the pit. | And NEnwaqawa, and his wife, 

 K'anelk"as, took the | short boards and covered up the pit. Now, ||
