Then in the morning, promptly with the first gleam of dawn, up flew 
those birds which he had taken for people. He stood there, deep in a 
snow-drift. 
“Bah, the filthy brutes!" 
Then he put on his clothes. 
“They shan't fool me again!” 
Then he went away. 
“I’d better go to some inhabited place!” 
He went over yonder. He set out at random. He went to a poplar- 
grove, to where there was an open place among the trees, where some 
children were playing noisily, sliding down a hill. Very hard and smooth 
was the snow where the children were playing and raising a rumpus. 
This time, too, he was invited. It was already dark. He was given 
some pemmican. 
Just as he took it, “Hullo, I’ve come to invite our big brother; he is 
to come eat at our house,” he was told. 
“Well, sister-in-law, when I come back here, I shall eat this,” he told 
the woman there. 
Again he was invited: “First let my big brother come eat at my 
house; it is really too long since I have seen our big brother.” 
“Well, sister-in-law, let us take the pemmican over to where I am 
visiting for the night,” he said. 
Again he went back. 
“Now, little brother, I am tired from my long tramp; I want to 
sleep on the deep snow, on the hillside.” 
“Big brother, the chief here means to move camp promptly!” 
They had already found the place to stop to rest. 
“Wait and eat at the place where we are planning to eat, before we 
move on.” 
“Oh, little brother, when my sister-in-law kindles the fire, I shall get 
up all right,” he told his younger brother. 
Accordingly he took off his moccasins, his breeches, and his jacket; 
using them all for a pillow. He slept. Very early, at the first far-off sign 
of dawn, while that Wisahketchahk was yet asleep, suddenly up flew the 
partridges. For such they were whose tents he had entered, and he had 
been led to go deep under the snow. 
“Bah, the filthy brutes have tricked me! I, who trick everyone, I 
shall trick you none the less!” he said of them. 
That is all.
