The story goes that there was this big town where they always had 
contests and ate each other. Then at one time a certain woman took a 
dislike to this, because she loved her little brother, 
“I shall take him away from here; I shall try to have him grow up,” 
she thought. 
In the night she went away, fleeing. 
“Perhaps — since my father and my mother have been killed, I am 
now alone with my little brother — perhaps, if there is another mass contest, 
I now shall be killed,” she thought; that was why she went away. 
After two nights’ journeying, she was at a place where the land was 
good, with woods everywhere.
