the same thmg." Then he said, "Why are you scolding me? Don't
you get enough to eat?" "Yes, 1 get enough to eat, but 1 want some
other kind of meat, and I want you to hunt deer." Then she met
another woman and they talked about sending their men out to hunt
deer. Those two hunters were honest and good men. Those two
women were meeting two other boys. They said when they met,
"Let us get the two men out of the way. One of us will turn bear,
the other turn mountain lion." The next day when the men went
out, they saw two deer. "Let us go after them, our wives are wait-
ing for deer meat." They had gone out happy, singing, with their
bow and arrows. When they saw the deer, one went on one side of
the two deer, one on the other. The two deer whistled when they
saw the men. "Did you hear that?" "Yes." "What do you
think about it?" "I think they are not the kind of deer we are
looking for. Shall we let them go?" "Yes." It was almost sun-
down. When they were coming to thé plaza their wives started
out to meet them. The men looked sad, because they had not
killed anything. In their houses their wives said, "You killed
nothing?" "No, I had no luck to-day. Maybe to-morrow."
When the daylight came he said to his wife, "Wrap me up some
wafer bread (pakushore)." He put red paint (pari) on his face, he
started with bow and arrows, Now I am going to stand like a man
to-day." Then he saw thé same deer he. saw the day before. The
deer whistled. The sun set and h e turned back. When he got back,
she came out to meet him and scolded him for not killing anything'
Then he said, "There is something wrong in me. I am going to
work to see what is wrong in me. Now you wash my hair." She
said, "You want your hair washed and you haven't killed a deer
yet!" "Maybe if you wash my hair, I will kill a deer," he said.
"I am going over to my friend and invite him to go hunting with me
