The Old Man set out, and it was in winter. Presently, towards 
evening, he heard some children. Those people had many tents, many 
were the lodges. 
When he arrived at the hill, the children said of him, “A visitor!” 
“Ho, let him come here; let him come here and eat!” 
So he went to the tent that stood in the centre. He entered. 
“Hey, give my big brother something to eat; let him have a meal.” 
He was given food. 
“Porridge,” he thought. 
“Let him come and eat over here,” someone said to him, inviting him. 
He had not yet begun to eat. 
Then, just as he was about to begin eating, again he was invited by 
others to another tent. 
Then, as he went in and was about to eat, then, “Let my big brother 
come back here.” 
He went back. 
As he entered, “Well now, brother, go to bed! We always move camp 
early, when we move in the morning. Go to bed!” 
He undressed. 
“Ho, big brother, these folks always break camp very early of a 
morning!” 
“As soon as my sister-in-law kindles the fire, I shall wake up,” thought 
he. He took off his clothes, thinking “I do want to sleep in comfort.”
