Once upon a time, of old, there were ten men. 
Again, they fled, saying, “That Windigo would destroy us all.” 
As they went away, they took with them a young girl, their younger 
sister. Off alone somewhere they went and built their dwelling. And off 
there they stayed. And there for a long time they must have been bringing 
up their sister. Finally they set up in the ground a tall tree, and in it they 
built a lodge, making a kind of nest, in which she then had her dwelling. 
Then in time that pure maiden must have seen all manner of things in her 
dreams. Then, presently, she knew that she could fly. And there was a 
little boy, a brother still younger than this young woman. 
Then she said to her younger brother, “I shall gather berries.” 
“Big sister, but where will you find any berries? It is winter,” said 
the little boy. 
“Little brother, not by any chance shall I fail,” she said; “For I 
shall fly,” said the young woman. 
Then really the young woman dressed herself and set out and flew 
to another land. Really, when she arrived there across the sea, she began 
to gather berries. She arrived there exactly at noon. She began to gather 
saskatoon berries. When she had filled one of her berrying baskets and 
was setting about filling the other, suddenly a Thunderer’s roar was heard. 
It frightened her out of her senses. When she awoke, to her surprise, a 
youth was raising her to her feet. She was very glad. ****** 
Towards evening, she went home. So really, she brought berries. 
When she arrived at their dwelling, she set about stewing the berries. 
Her elder brothers were very much pleased when she gave them the stewed 
berries.
