to bring the drums hither for me.” And on that day Ictinike had put on a very bad 
and worn-out piece of an old tent-skin. And he had worn the clothing of the Rabbit’s 
son, but he was about to give it back to him. And he kicked off all (i. ¢., the Rabbit 
kicked off what he had on, Ictinike’s former clothing.) “Take that your own again 
in order to wear it,” said the Rabbit’s son. And he gave it to him. The Rabbit took 
that, his own. Having put it on, he stood in his own (clothing), he also put on (his) 
moceasins. And the Rabbit’s son having caused them to beat the drums, sent 
Ietinike up high in the air. And when he reached a distant point, he caused him to 
come back falling thence. And Ietinike died by falling.
