Tawi'skaro"' therewith. Customarily t'liert chips would fly when he hit 

 him. Thus then he hit him as they went runnino-. Whenever Sapling 

 saw a liorn or a yellow ehert stone he would seize it sutldenly and hit 

 Tawi'skaro"' with it. Then after a while he killed him. Now, at this 

 time, toward the west, where the earth e.xtends thitherward, there lies 

 atiiwart the view a range of large mountains that cross the whole earth. 

 There, so it is said, his body lies e.xtended. He fell there when he 

 was killed. Now, besides, it is plain, when we consider in what condi- 

 tion the earth is, that when we look about we see that the .- urface is 

 uneven, some places being high, even ranges of mountain, while some 

 are for their part low. This was, of course, done by the two as the}' 

 ran from place to place, lighting as they went. That is the reason 

 that tile surface of the earth is uneven.
