he goes right up. He went through into another world. And again 

 he goes right up. Again he went through into another world. He 

 goes right up. When he had just gone a little way his strength gave 

 out, he came back to where Ra-eto'we were staying and said, "Three 

 times I went through and the fourth time my strength gave out." 

 "Hayi! Indeed?" Saj^ng this, he went. 



When he had gone the two thought. "Come, let us speak with 

 our grandson. Reed Youth. For perhaps that one with his strong 

 point will be all right." Saying this, they went. They came to 

 where Reed Youth stayed. "You have come?" "Yes; how have 

 you lived these days." "Where I stay happily j^ou have passed me 

 on my road. Sit down." Thus he said. They sat down. Then he 

 questioned them. "Yes. Well, even now you have passed me on 

 my road. I think there is something to say; it will not be too long 

 a talk. When you let me know that, that I shall always remember." 

 Thus he said. "Yes, indeed, in order that our fathers, ka-eto'we, 

 tcu-eto-we, mu-eto'we, le-eto'we, the society priests, may go out 

 standing into the dayhght of their sun father, we have come to you." 

 "Hayi! Is that so?" Having spoken thus, they went. When they 

 arrived they sat down. There he questioned them. "Yes, even now 

 that you have summoned me I have passed you on your roads. 

 Surely there is something to say; it will not be too long a talk. When 

 you let me know that, that I shall always remember." "Yes, indeed, 

 it is so. In order that our fathers, ka-eto'we, tcu-eto'we, mu-eto'we, 

 te-eto"we, the society priests, may go forth standing into the daylight 

 of their sun father, we have summoned you." Thiis they said. 

 "Hayi! Is that so? " Saying this, he went out. WTiere Locust had 

 gone out he went out. The first time he passed through, the second 

 time he passed through, the third time he passed through. Having 

 passed through the fourth time and come forth standing into the day- 

 light of his sun father, he went back in. Coming back in he came 

 to where k'a-eto'we were staying. "You have come?" Thus they 

 said. "Yes," he said. "Far off to see what road there may be you 

 have gone. How may it be there now?" Thus they said. "Yes, 

 indeed, it is so. There it is as you wanted it. As you wished of me, 

 I went forth standing into the dayhght of my sun father now." 

 Thus he said. "Halihi! Thank you!" "Now I am going." "Go." 

 Saying this, he went. 



After he had gone they were sitting around. Now as they were 

 sitting aroimd, there the two set up a pine tree for a ladder. They 

 stayed there. For four days they stayed there. Four days, they 

 say, but it was four years. There all the different society priests sang 

 their song sequences for one another. The ones sitting in the first
