Behold! it is good.” | Then the woman felt of the necklace of the 
man. | “Let us go!’ said the woman. Then she gathered her | 
belongings and they started. They arrived at a river. ‘Go 
on, shout! || that we may be taken (across),” said on his part : 
the man to the woman. | “Come, fetch us!’ said on her part the 
woman. | The children did not pay any attention; they were 
playing on the ground, poling in the river. ‘You | yourself shout, 
that we may be taken (across).’’ Then the man | just yawned. 
The children came and took them across, and || they went to the 
house. Then they went up and entered the house. | 
The sisters of the husband of the woman recognized them. 
Then | they sat down in the house. Her sisters-in-law turned 
around in the house. The woman opened her little bag | and dis- 
tributed spoons among her sisters-in-law. | They did not take them. 
Then the husband of the woman said: || ‘Put those spoons on the 
fire. Indeed, they only know | what is given to them when this is 
done to them.’”’—‘‘ That is very strange; | you only turn your faces 
in the house when I try to give you something,” said the woman. | 
Then she threw them on the fire of the house, and all the spoons 
burned. | The women took from one another the spoons || when they 
burned inside. The women took care | of the spoons. |
