2(11 



Suddenly those in the lodge were greatly surprised that the child 

 began to weep. For never before had it .so happened to tho.se who 

 had children that these would be in the habit of weeping. So then 

 her mother petted her, endeavoring to divert her mind, doing many 

 things for this purpose; nevertheless she failed to quiet her. Other 

 persons tried to soothe her by petting her, but none of their eti'orts 

 succeeded in quieting her. After a while the mother of the child 

 said: "Ye might try to quiet her by showing her that Inirial-case 

 that lies up high, yonder, wherein the body of the dead man-being 

 lies." So then they took the child up there and uncovered the burial- 

 case. Now of course she looked upon the dead man-being, and she 

 immediately ceased from weeping. After a long time the}' brought 

 her down therefrom, for she no longer lamented. And, besides this, 

 her mind was again at ease.
