 said, "Don't listen to her." Night came on. Toward morning the 

 woman begun to change her cries. "This way with the basket (kat)," 

 she said toward morning. Later still she began to sa}'^, "Hu, hu, hu, 

 ii." Her husband said to her, "You can become an owl from this 

 time on." So she started to fly off. She became an owl. She flew 

 first among the trees. She was heard saying, "Sit in your holes," 

 after which he (her husband) went outside. He said to her, "You 

 put milt into my mother's hand. For that you can become an owl. 

 Way back there for you is Owrs-rock-slide." This is why it is so. 

 This is why we can alwa^'s understand it (the owl). It always pre- 

 dicts bad weather. It always tells what is going to happen in other 

 towns.
