HOW THE RABBIT CURED HIS WOUND. oD 
said, ““Ha™! ha! ha®!” And the Rabbit said, “Do not say ‘Ha™! hat! ha"!?” And 
the Rabbit gathered together the heart and the scattered pieces of fat. And the 
Hill split open of its own accord. All the people went out again. When they went 
homeward all the people assembled themselves. Said they, ‘Let us make the Rabbit 
chief.” And he said as follows: “It is said ‘You shall make the Rabbit chief’ As if 
T, for my part, had been desiring to be chief!! (Or, Have I been behaving as if I 
wished to be chief?) From whatever places ye may have come, begone ye (to them). 
I too have come hither to get some of the fat belonging to me, as my grandmother 
had none.” And the Rabbit went homeward, carrying the fat on his back. Having 
brought it home on his back, he put it outside. “O grandmother! I have killed 
qahe-wa¢ahuni,” he said. “Oh! You very bad big-foot! you very bad split-mouth! 
Have you killed him who only should have been killed in the past?” ‘‘Grandmother, 
I say that because I have killed him. See the pile farther away,” he said. The old 
woman having gone out of doors, said, “Oh! my grandchild told (nothing but) the 
truth (though I did doubt him at first).” And she took the (pile of) fat (meat).
