[Translation] 



The earth was full of people. All kinds of people lived in a 

 mixed -up fashion. They had no fire or water. Whenever they 

 wanted to eat, they would put the food under their arms (in order 

 to heat it). They would dance with it, or the old people would sit on 

 it. And when the food became warm, then they would eat it. When- 

 ever salmon came ashore, they used fo scoop it out.
