and when you have done this, take || red cedar-bark and split it into 
narrow strips; and when | much cedar-bark has been split, take 
four | slender newly chopped cedar-trees of the same length as | our 
sister here, and also four | stout poles half a fathom in length, which 
are to be the posts of the room in which our sister is to lie down; || 
and when they have been put down there, drive one of the | posts 
into the floor at the right-hand side of the head of our sister, and | 
drive down another at the right-hand side of her foot, and still | 
another one at the left side of her shoulder, and the last | one at the 
left side of her feet; and when you have finished this, || take the four 
slender cedar-trees, and lay their ends on the | four posts; and when 
you have done so, take the | split strips of red cedar-bark, and hang 
them from the | four poles of cedar-wood, just above our sister. 
When they have been | hung up, take much eagle-down, and || 
strew the eagle-down on the red cedar-bark, and on our sister where 
she is | lying down in the middle of this frame which you made to 
hang up the | cedar-bark covered with eagle-down, and when you 
have done so, sweep out the place | where you have been working, so 
that nothing is left on the floor; | and do not be weak on account of 
our sister, and go to see her. || Don’t go to see her this side of four 
days, | otherwise you will frighten away what will come to take pity
