The people missed this woman. For that the people were called 

 together, and they searched everywhere for her. It was the grizzly 

 bear to which the liigh-caste woman had spoken angrily that married 

 her. The grizzly-bear people kept going after salmon. After they 

 had gone her husband went out after wet wood. She, however, 

 always collected dry wood. Wlien the}^ came up from the salmon 

 place they threw off their coats. They shook them. Sometliing 

 in these like grease would burn in the soaked wood. The woman's 

 dry wood, however, always went out. It was not long before they

 foot. A grandmother mouse w^as coming out from under a little hill.
