In the tale of * Foot-Stuck-Child ”* Dr A. L. Kroeber relates how 
a miraculous girl, who is escaping from her husband, a buffalo, and 
from a rock who wished to marry her, threw up a ball which she was 
carrying. She first threw the ball, and as it came down kicked it up- 
ward, and her fathers, in turn, rose up. Then she threw and kicked 
it for herself. She and her fathers reached the sky in one place. 
They live in a tent covered with stars. 
In Doctor Dorsey’s ” version of the same story the girl disobeys her 
father’s injunction not to leave her tipi to take part in a shinny-ball 
game, and was captured by the buffalo bull.
