“Filthy brute! How many times has he cheated me!” Wisahketchahk 
said of him. 
Then the raven called: “Ho, Wisahketchahk! ‘He has got me angry 
now!’ says Flute-Bearer to you; ‘Wherever he overtakes me now, I shall 
kill him!’ is what Flute-Bearer says to you,” it told him. 
“Yoho!” said Wisahketchahk; “The fellow might be telling the 
truth!” said Wisahketchahk; “The fact is, he has fooled me three times 
now. Never has anyone fooled me as much as that!” he said; “Well, I 
will leave him alone! I will go home,” he said; “So now you have got 
away with your life, Flute-Bearer!” said Wisahketchahk. 
That is the end of the sacred story.

^ The speaker starts to compound kwayask : “properly” with the follo^ng verb. 
This is contrary to habit; he corrects himself by starting the verb all over again. I have 
often observed the same thing in Menomini, where a similar “incorporation” is permitted 
but awkward.
