He went off. When he had got near the lodge, the other overtook 
him. 
As the other was about to come upon him and kill him, he cried, 
“Thunderer, kill this one for me! He wants to kill me!” said the boy. 
Then truly the Thunderers made themselves loudly heard. They 
killed that man who was going to kill the child. Then the young woman 
came leaping out of her dwelling. Again she slew her little brother. 
“If you again restore him to life, I will kill you all!” she said to those 
old women. 
“Now,” said those old women, “in any case she will not be able to 
kill us. Let us revive him once more,” they said. 
Accordingly, again they built that in which they always revived him. 
They completed it. When the young woman went to see them in the 
morning, and the boy was alive, she tried to kill him. 
Just as she was about to slay him, “This one means to kill me, 0 
Thunderers!” the boy said again. 
Truly with great noise the Thunderers were heard. 
"Now then,” they said to him; "I shall needs take you home with me 
aloft,” said the one Thunderer; “I have already brought to maturity your 
nephew whom I took. Even as I look, so looks he too,” the Thunderer 
said to him. 
So he took him away from there; he dropped him into a Thunderer's^ 
nest. And there, when four nights had passed, by that time he had grown 
to maturity as a Thunderer. 
That is one tale.
