 "Verily, these will accompany them [i. e., those who form a group]. 

 ' Beaver- its-skin-is-spread-out,' is what these shall be called. As soon, 

 custouiarily, as one journeys, traveling at night, one will watch this 

 [group]." Some time after this, she, the Ancient-bodied, again spoke 

 repeatedly, saying: "There will dwell in a place faraway man-beings. 

 So now, also, another thing: beavers will dwell in that place where 

 there are streams of water." Indeed, it did thus come to pass, and 

 the cause that brought it about is that she, the Ancient-bodied, is. as 

 a matter of fact, a controller [a god]. 



So now, sometime afterward, the girl maivtieing, the offspring of 

 the Ancient-bodied, had grown large in size. And so now there was 

 also nuich forest Iving extant. Now near bv there was Iving an
