got to wait until the Antelope's horns get ripe, and the badger got to 

 dig a hole fii-st before the Antelope knocks the door down. I go to 

 see the badger now. You stay here for foiu- days. On fifth day we'll 

 go to where the k'atsina are. Yon can stay here and hunt deer and 

 rabbits, so we can feed the k'atsina when they come out." Then she 

 went to see the badger. 



On the first day the scouts and the Antelope men went hunting in 

 the north. They got a deer and brought it home to the Spider woman's 

 home. The next day they went west and got a deer. The third day 

 they went south and got a deer. The fom'th day they went east; 

 killed a deer. Spider woman made some matsini during the four 

 days. On the foiu-th evening they boiled the meat in four big pots. 



On the fifth morning they went to the Badger's house. Then they 

 all went to where the k'atsina were. The Antelope was there when 

 they got there. The gomaiowic dug in the groimd a little way with 

 their flint knives. Then one of the gomaiowic gave his Ivnife to the 

 Antelope man (the Antelope man just carried a cane, crooked stick, 

 gonac), and'he dug a little. Then the Antelope man told the Badger 

 to dig down to the door. The Badger dug down until he got to the 

 door. The door was a thin rock. Then Antelope man told the 

 Antelope to break the door with his horns. The Antelope backed off 

 and ran toward the door and hit it with his horns. He hit it four 

 times. The third time he cracked the door. The fourth time he 

 crashed thi'ough inside. The Antelope man went in, too. The 

 gomaiovnc stayed outside. There were lots of flowers, com, melons, 

 inside where the k'atsina were. The Antelope man met the head 

 k'atsina, Kimac", and told him he had come to get the k'atsina out. 

 The people were himgry because they did not have the rain. Kimac" 

 said, "All right. We go out to-day and make rain for those peoples. 

 And we got fruit here. We drop them right by the pueblo for the 

 people to eat." The Antelope man said, "All right. I be glad if you 

 do feed my people. They hungry." Then the Antelope man said, 

 "We got to stop at Spider's house. We give you good meal there. 

 After that you could make the rain." Ivimac" said, "All right." 



They went out. The Antelope man led the way. Then came the 

 antelope (who had butted the door dowTi). Behind the antelope 

 came the badger. Then the k'atsina; Kinaac" was at the head of the 

 k'atsina. The gomaiowic were way behind. WTien they got to the 

 Spider's house they gave the k'atsina the deer meat. When they 

 finished, there was lots of meat left, so the Antelope man told the 

 k'atsina to take a lunch with them. So they took a limch. Ivimac" 

 said, "We got to go back to Wenima first, but to-morrow we going to 

 make rain for whole world." The Antelope man said, "All right." 

 Kimac" told the Antelope man to tell the people they were going to 

 bring fruits and make rain four days and four nights.
