NO-TONGUE AND THE SUN AND THE MOON. 63 
cousin,—not a real cousin, but because you are the son of the Sun and 
so is he,—so he is your cousin. He is the one who has been selected 
to kill you. But do not be afraid; I shall be with you and will help 
you all I can. Do not shake hands with the young man, your cousin, 
and if you must shake hands, do not shake with your right hand. Be 
very careful not to let him strike you first. If you should shake hands 
with him, strike him. You must not let him strike you first; and when 
you have killed him, cut his head off and put it under a big stone that 
shall be near you, so that the Sun will not make him live again. By 
placing the head under the stone the Sun will be prevented from bring- 
ing him to life.” The Moon also said, “Be careful to do what I have 
told you to do.” No-Tongue was glad. The Moon also told No- 
Tongue that the young man he was to fight with was named Little-Sun. 
Two days after this some warriors went out on the war-path. 
Before they had gone far the Sun went to No-Tongue, and said: 
“My son, I am glad you are going on the war-path; I want you to 
killa man for me. He is coming. He thinks he is great, but he is not. 
So kill him for me.” The Sun said all of this, not meaning it, for he

scouts went up a high hill, and there they met the spies of the enemy 
coming up from the other side. These did not stop, but turned straight 
back again, and went and told the enemy, and of course the other 
scouts turned back and told their leaders that the enemy was coming. 
So in the morning, the two sets of people came together, and they 
fought a battle; but before starting the battle there was a man who 
stood in front of the enemy’s line, and said, “No-Tongue, I want you 
to come and shake hands with me, for you are amongst those people.” 
No-Tiongue went to him, and when they were nearly together, every- 
body saw that the two were dressed so as to look very much alike, but 
they did not know that they were to fight each other; but the two 
knew that they were to fight, and that they were both sons of the Sun. 
No-Tongue did what the Moon had told him to do. He killed Little- 
Sun. Then No-Tongue’s people defeated the enemy. They took many 
scalps, and returned home. 
The Sun became mad at No-Tongue, because he had killed Little- 
Sun, for the Sun had expected No-Tongue to be killed. The Sun had 
tried three times to kill No-Tongue; so the fourth time, the Sun 
himself was going to scalp No-Tongue, so that the people would make
