Ill 
wonder, for they had suffered much from hunger. Skunk-Woman was 
happy to see so much meat, thinking that, “Now we shall not starve.” 
Then that Grizzly in yonder place got very hungry. He grew restless 
when his brother-in-law failed to arrive, thinking, “No doubt he has 
killed buffalo.” He wanted to look for his brother-in-law. “Ho, suppose I 
go look for Badger; no doubt he has killed buffalo,” thought Grizzly, and 
went forth. He could not see where the other had gone by; for, of course, 
it had snowed; he lost Badger's trail. At last he went back home, unable 
to find his brother-in-law. 
Then that Badger again saw some buffalo; these too he killed, all 
of them. These, too, they took entirely; they threw nothing away. They 
had much to eat. 
Then Grizzly set out to look again for his brother-in-law. At last, 
after two nights on the road, he found Badger, found him in possession 
of much food, while he and his wife and children were starving. He was 
very glad to have found his brother-in-law. 
He cried, “Splendid! Now I shall eat, now that I have come to my 
brother-in-law, who has so much meat,” said Grizzly. 
And so, really, he was given food; he ate and ate; even though he 
finished meal after meal, right off he was hungry again. So, as he was 
cooked for and served, night came on. He felt no need of sleep, but ate 
all through the night, that Grizzly. At last day broke. 
“Hoho, brother-in-law, let my sister tie up dried meat for me to take 
home. Your nephews are very hungry and your sister,” he said. 
So she tied up a great amount of it, for him to carry on his back. 
Then, when Grizzly was ready to go home, he spoke: “Now, brother- 
in-law, two nights from now I shall move my camp to this place,” said 
Grizzly. 
So then he went home. 
Then thus spoke Badger: “So it is in this way that your brother will 
again reduce us to misery, wife. Now, do you hide the best of your dried- 
meats. When they come here, he will take away all our supplies of food,” 
he said to his wife. 
Accordingly, she hid some, digging a pit within the tent and putting 
in her store of food. 
And that Grizzly, going home, marched all night. In the evening he 
arrived at his camp. He brought a great deal for his children to eat. They 
were very glad. 
This is what he said: “Badger has killed many buffalo. Tomorrow 
morning we shall move camp to that place,” he said. 
Very glad were his children. They ate almost till dawn. As much 
as this was, which had been brought for them, they devoured nearly all of 
it. The next morning they made ready and set out to go to Badger’s. 
Night fell while they were on the march; they did not stop to sleep. Day 
broke. All that day, too, they marched. In the evening they arrived 
there where Badger was camping. Skunk-Woman beforehand had cleared 
away the snow where she planned for her brother to camp, off to one side 
in a grove, off where he was to go and camp. Although Skunk-Woman 
said, “Over here! ” to her brother, that Grizzly paid no heed, but camped 
right there.
