tallow and | smears it on the faces of the two twin-children. | Then 36 
she takes red ocher and brings it three times toward the | face of the 
one, and the fourth time she paints his | face and head; and when 
she finishes the one, she || calls the other one, and she does the same 40 
to him; and as soon | as she finishes, the woman sends the twin- 
child to | sit by the side of his brother, and the woman puts away | 
her cooking-box, the tallow, and the paint-bag of dressed skin. | 
As soon as this has been done, she sits down and she calls her || hus- 45 
band, and she tells her husband to go on and to | pray to the twin- 
children. Immediately | the man arises and sits down in front of 
the | twin-children; and he begins to speak, and says: | “Listen to 
me, you Supernatural-Ones! for this is the reason why I || invited 50 
you, that you may work your supernatural power and make good 
weather | in your world. Supernatural-Ones, let your world become 
summer, | salmon!! And thus I pay you with tallow on | your 
faces, and red ocher, and also these | four eagle-tails.’”’ Thus he 
says, and he arises || and puts four eagle-feathers on the head of each 55 
of the | children. Then the twins only look downhearted. | That is 
all. |
