Among the people of old there was a large town; their houses were 
ordinary lodges of skin. There were many children. 
At one time, in winter, many children were playing with sticks; they 
were throwing snow-darts, twelve of them. They followed the snow-darts. 
From wherever anyone’s snow-dart stopped in its course they would go 
home. 
So they set out. At last only two were left. Four nights they slept 
on the way; not till the next morning did they reach the snow-dart of the 
smallest one, the youngest brother, that boy’s snow-dart. This one they 
reached last, after four nights. Thereupon they built a tent for them- 
selves out of sticks. There they stayed. 
On the tenth night came a great storm. For four nights it snowed. 
So they began to be hungry. 
Then at one time, he took his snow-darts; he went outside; he threw 
them on the ground: “Hunt!” he told them. 
Thereupon, when daylight had come, there suddenly within the lodge 
lay his snow-darts. Then he went outside: a great store of meat lay out- 
side the lodge. Accordingly he brought it in. So the children ate. 
Every night it snowed. They were lost; at home they were given up 
as lost. All winter they stayed there. 
Then at one time, “Let us go home!” So they set out. They went 
home. At nightfall they arrived. 
Then, “Where have you been?”
