Then, thei"e was a Gray Spider in the west." J called on him for 

 assistance. He was friendly to me and came in answer to my appeal. 

 He took bundles of sticks, which he placed in the edg-es of the land 

 and sewed them firmly together. He pulled the black corner at the 

 west, where stands the house of the Rain god of the west. He tirnd^^ 

 enveloped the earth M'ith his black power. He pulled the blue corner 

 at the south, where stands the house of the Rain god of the south. 

 He firmly enveloped the earth with his blue power. He pulled the 

 white corner at the east, where stands the house of the Rain god of the 

 east. He firmly enveloped the earth with his white power, and with 

 that the earth became quieter.
