The sun said to them, "Tanuru hupitanin, no, dear child, do not think such thoughts." So they went back to their place. But ail night they were wishing to see the young man in the other world, and they hoped that the next morning Nashon~uchu would do again what he had done. In the morning Nashôn'uchu did the same thing when the sun was rising. Because of the wishes and hopes of the girls the kick stick did not reach thé east, but the noon time place (pienai). Blue Corn girl and Yellow Corn girl opened the gate of the world, and the kick stick came down to the earth where the two girls were.

He stopped again at the gate at sunrise. He spoke, "Akuwam~ (greetings)." The old women answered, "Akuwam~, grandcbild." He asked again for his kick stick. After he had left the girls they went up on top of the gate with the kick stick, and they were singing. Then they threw the com meal to thé north, koannwetoe. They flew out, and they shook their wings. That made the wind blow on the world-that was what made the wind. They descended at the mountain Narpyenai', on top of the mountain.
