“side.” And he called together an army of kanchil, the whole of 
the race, and said: “If we do not kill the /éldbi, we all perish, 
“ but if we kill him, all is well.” 
Then they all jumped on to the leldbi, which was of great size, 
and stamped on him with their tiny hoofs, till they had driven 
holes in his head and neck and back and killed him.

lcladbi had inereased to a vast extent, and formed what is now the 
sea. 
After the destruction of the léldbi, the kanchil asked To’ Eytan 
what was to be his reward for the service he had performed, on 
which To’ Eytan replied that he would take the root of the kledek 
(a sort of yam) and the kanchil could have the leaves for his share, 
and they have accordingly ever since been the food of the kanehil.
