t'aikabede stayed inside, because he had two hearts.) "Everything is all closed up now. How can we get him? You are a crazy fellow, but 1 think you know how to get him." He said, "If you should give me a leaf of smoking tobacco, I will go get him with that leaf." At that time they did not know about tobacco. So they asked him what tobacco was. He said, "Well, look in ail directions, see if anybody is lucky enough to find that leaf." They ail looked all around, beginning in the east, and then looking north and west and south and up and down, but they did not see anything at all. As they hated this boy, they said, "You are taïking of things of which we know nothing. You had better look around yourself and see where that leaf is." This little boy had plenty of power (naterde). He walked in ail directions and did not find that leaf. Then when he came to the middle he looked up into the beams, and pointed to that leaf. "How are we to get it?" He told them to get a corn husk. They went and looked for the com husk and brought it. Then he made a cigarette. With that cigarette they went to Tsipapuna again.
When they got there-he was using his power-the door was open. He saw t'aikabede, but he was all painted up like a shaxô (witch). Then the boy handed him a smoke, to think in a good way and come out and show how there should be a t'aikabede in this world. The t'aikabede received the cigarette and smoked in all directions and told the boy he was coming out, but with two hearts because he was left there, without a smoke in the beginning. They both came out. The t'aikabede went ahead and the boy followed, directing him, until they came to Shiaw'ipap. When they got there the men were all waiting very patiently. It was 12 days since the little boy left them and returned in the night. When he got in there, he took all the men and everybody in the world under his arms to look after them and look after their life and their luck in the world. But he could not live there very long, so he thought he would choose a man to rule over them. So they chose one who was too young to be t'aikabede; still they chose him. Then they told all the people to get ready for a feast. They all got ready. They had another council, and during those 12 days they chose a war captain and lieutenant and officers and a governor, and the officers were made by the old chief brought by the little crazy boy. Then those war captains (paiwilawe) chose 12 kapyunin, 6 shifunin and 6 shuren.~ They had to go from house to house to gather the dancers, to finish their t'aikabede (after the 12 days). They gave him a house to live in all his life. The t'aikabede brought by the little boy gave the new t'aikabede advice how to live in this world. He was told that from that day on he could not work. He could not chop wood, nor kill anything, not even an With their hair pokes they dug up a passage into the world, that is why they call them shure', gopher. The shifunin went first, but, having side whorls of hair, they could not dig the way up.
