stands under | the tree that has many berries. She plucks off 
a bunch at a time | and puts them into her front basket. It does not 
take || long before the front-basket is filled; and when it is full, she 
goes | and pours the berries into the large swallowing-basket. 
Then | she picks some more into the front-basket; and when that is 
full again, | she goes back and pours them into the large swallowing- 
basket; and when her | large basket is full, she does the same with 
the second medium-sized basket. || When there are very many ber- 
ries, | she spreads her blanket in the bow of the canoe, | and carries 
the large swallowing-basket to the canoe and | pours out the viburnum- 
berries that are in the swallowing-basket on the blanket; | and she 
does the same with the medium-sized basket. Then || she goes back 
to the place where she was picking berries, and tries to fill the | 
three baskets again. When they are full, | she carries them on her 
back and puts them aboard the canoe; and when | they are all aboard, 
she unties the anchor-line from the stake, | goes aboard, and drifts 
downstream. || Then she goes home. As soon as she arrives at the 
beach | in front of the house, her husband comes down to meet her, 
and he carries on his back | the large swallowing-basket. He carries 
it up the beach, | and puts it down at a cool place in the house. Then 
he goes down again, | and carries on his back the medium-sized basket,
