“There, sister, take up my arrows!” 
When the woman went out, there were many deer. 
“Splendid! Now, surely, I shall not go hungry!” she said, as she went 
about pulling free the arrows. 
When she brought them in, again her brother sat without his clothes. 
“There, sister, throw these things out!” he said to her. 
She threw them out. Then she took her knife, to clean the game. 
Not a thing did she see of her brother’s clothes; he had cast them off. Then, 
accordingly, she again cleaned game. When she had finished cleaning 
game, she cooked, that they might eat. Then they ate. When she had 
eaten, she eagerly went about preparing dwarf-moose skins and one deer- 
skin. By evening she had finished it all, and then she stopped to cook. 
When they had eaten, she sewed. Then she finished her brother’s clothes. 
Then, with zeal she went about drying hides. At last, when it was quite 
dark, she went to bed. When she awoke, her brother had already got up. 
She worked quickly, cooking the meal. When they had eaten, he again 
burned incense under his flute. 
“Open the door!” 
When she had opened it, he played. As before, he made moose come 
by the sound, for these he now sought. Again, when he had exhausted 
his arrows, he ceased. 
“Now, sister, go take up my arrows!” 
When she went out, there were many moose. 
“Splendid, splendid! Now we shall not for a long time go hungry!” 
said the woman, as she set about taking the arrows. 
When she went indoors, again he sat undressed. 
“Now, sister, throw those things out!” he told his sister. 
She threw them outside; then she took her knife and went out and 
began to clean the carcasses. She skinned them and cut them up. When 
she had finished cleaning them she set about her cooking. When they had 
eaten, then she again prepared skins of dwarf-moose, and a deer-hide, 
with the thought, “That he may have it for a blanket-robe,” and just as 
darkness was coming on, she had them done, and stopped to cook again, 
to feed her brother. So, when they had eaten, she sewed and made clothes. 
Before her brother went to bed she had them done, and already was drying 
other skins of dwarf-moose and of moose. When she got sleepy, she ceased 
work and went to bed. The next morning, when she arose, her brother 
was already sitting up. So then she cooked, that they might eat. As soon 
as they had eaten, he again burned incense to his flute. The woman threw 
open the door-flap, and her brother played the flute. Then buffalo came 
running, and he made a killing of these too. Again, only when he had used 
up his arrows did he cease killing them. 
“So there, sister! Take up my arrows!” he told her. 
When the woman went out, again she was glad. 
“Splendid! So now, it appears, I shall never be at a loss for something 
to eat!” she said, as she went on taking the arrows. 
When she went in, again her brother sat without his clothes. 
“Now, sister, throw these out of the lodge!” he told her; “It was 
because I hesitated to give you too much work, that I never used to hunt,” 
he told her.
