“Dear me, little brother, I told you I was given to walking in my 
sleep. Are you sure that this headgear of yours has not been thinking 
‘Let him possess me!’ meaning me?” he asked him. 
The next night, as soon as the other slept, again he took the thing, 
slung the bundle across his shoulder, and again made off, fleeing with all 
his might. When dawn again was near, again he meant to sleep. He 
climbed high up on a tree. There he went to sleep, after again tying him- 
self fast. 
He had gone off to sleep, when suddenly the other was prodding him 
awake with a stick, saying to him, “Get up, big brother! You will be 
strangled by smoke! I am going to put wood on the fire,” and there he was, 
perched on top of the other’s dwelling, right at the place where the smoke 
comes out of the tipi. 
“Dear me, little brother, just see how terribly I am afflicted with 
sleep-walking!” he said to him, as he climbed down and came into the 
tent and tied the thing back into the place where it had been tied fast. 
The other answered him thus; “Wisahketchahk, you will not be able 
to steal my headgear from me. It was this headgear itself which brought 
you back here whenever you went to sleep. You might as well give it up!” 
the other told him. 
At this, as soon as he had eaten, he went away. 
That is the end of the sacred story.
