PAESOM] FOLK TALES 395
Their mother began to make them bows and arrows; their grand-
mother made them akula're (wheaten slapjacks in lard). Next
morning early they ail ate. When the sun rose they started. "Aku-
terimi, good-bye," they said to their grandmother and mother. They
left them worrying and crying. Out far from the village younger
brother got tired. Older brother said, "l'U take you." He took the
cord of tendon off his arrow and took on the oak stick (pikwiri).~
He asked his brother to go into the cane arrow. When his brother
went in, he tied the arrow again. He put it to the bow and shot to
the east. It fell to the center of the world. Then he ran on himself
to the middle of the world before his younger brother should choke
inside the arrow. It was stuck in a hill where chi'ipauHiu (grand-
mother Spider old woman) lived. She came out and took it into her
house. When older brother got there he found only the mark of the
arrow, and the footprints of grandmother Spider old woman. He
tracked her to her little house, to a little hole. He said, "Akuwam~
"Akuwam', grandchild," she answered, "come in, grandchild." The
boy said, "How can 1 corne in? 1 can not nt into this door." "Yes,
you can come in if you but try to come in." Then the boy tried to
go in, and it was a big house. He asked for his arrow. Grand-
mother Spider old woman said she did not take it. "Yes; you took it,
for 1 tracked you right to your house." She had it bidden behind
the wall of the fireplace. "Yes; 1 did take it," she said, and she went
and got it and handed it to him. Hawô~, chn (thank you, grand-
mother). Then he untied the oak end and out jumped the younger
boy.
Grandmother Spider old woman was surprised to see him. When
he jumped out, he said, "Grandmother, grandmother!" and the old
woman said, "Grandchild, grandchild!" and embraced him. Then
she began to ask how it happened that where nobody came around
they had come. The older boy told the story of how they lived,
and how they found the pond, and how the young man told them the
sun was their father, and how they went out to look for him. Grand-
mother Spider old woman said, "Ea~wô\ grandchild, you will die
before you can reach him, but I will try to help you arrive where
your father lives. I warn you that when you arrive there, your
father being mean, is not going to recognize you. He lives at
Toshanpawte~ (sunrise lake). He has another heart. He has not
his own heart; that is why he is mean. But I will give you something
to change his heart–put a new heart in him, then he will recognize
you. Do not be afraid. I will help you." (She had a little power.)
The children were pleased and thanked her. "Before you start to
go, let us eat a meal together." The older boy said, "No, grand-
Shie, from back of sheep, used to make bowstring and to saw moccasins and fasten arrows.
Fastened to the end of the cane arrow.
