There was T!at!#ndzid, who had been married eight | winters to his 
wife, and his wife had never been pregnant; | and this is what he 
5 said:—] Now,I have been married eight || winters to my wife, and she 
has never been pregnant. | I am sorry; for that was the reason | I 
married, that I might have children. Then I went to the Koskimo, | 
and I told the old man Qwa‘x'iladzé that I | felt badly because my 
10 wife had not been pregnant in eight || winters. Then Qwa‘x'iladzé 
laughed. He | said: ' “O my dear! listen to me, and I | will inform 
you. Just listen! When I first | married Born-to-be-given-Pres- 
15 ents-First, she | got no child, and I had her for my wife four winters. || 
Then I was really sick at heart. | I invited the experts in medicine 
of the first Koskimo; | and I spoke, and said, ‘O you experts in 
medicine among the | Koskimo, listen to me! I pray you, have 
mercy on me, | and treat my wife so that she may have children.’ 
20 Thus I said to || those experts in medicine among the Koskimo.
