This is about some women; ten women, Thunderer-Women, and their 
father and mother; and their father was a chief. 
And here on earth were also ten youths, who, in the same way, were 
brothers, but these had no mother; and they had no father. So they had 
only one tent; no other people dwelt near there. 
And up above, where those women dwelt, that was a large town. 
Among those women, the oldest of the sisters was called Silly Maiden. 
And the youngest was a pretty maid. 
And likewise, among those others, those ten young men, the oldest 
was Matchihkiwis; and, again, the youngest brother was a handsome 
youth. Now, those young men did not know that there were anywhere 
any women, or any other people at all. Those youths stayed always in 
that one place, and all of them did nothing but hunt. Then, as time went on, 
and they hunted, and none of them stayed at home, then that youngest 
brother was always the first to get home. After him they would all come, 
one after the other. 
Once upon a time, when that youth came home, he saw a great amount 
of firewood lying there. Exactly as if someone had come there it seemed 
to him, as he approached. He was very glad, thinking, “Perhaps there 
will be someone within.”
