27. GUM MAN (TAR BABY)

Nato~ai, an old man, and an old woman were living in a little house. They had a little garden they were taking care of, a little chili patch, and they planted melons and watermelons. When the chili was ripe, every moming when they went to thé garden, to hoe, they always found some chili gone. Rabbit was breaking the melons and making holes in them.

So they went to bed. Early in the morning he got up early and put up his lunch and went to the mountain and picked up some gum (kwp.) and made it into the form of a man. He took it to his house. When he got to his house, the old woman said, "Old man, have you come back?" "Yes, I have come back." "Did you find thé boy?" "Yes, he is coming." He had it hidden.
