I

0nce the camp moved, but one lodge stayed. It belonged to Wolf Tail; andWolf Tail's younger brother, Bull Turns Round, lived with him. Now theirfather loved both his sons, but he loved the younger one most, and when hewent away with the huge camp, he exclaimed to Wolf Tail: "Take care of your youngbrother; he is not yet a strong person. Watch him that nothing befall him."

0ne day Wolf Tail was out hunting, and Bull Turns Round sat in front of thelodge making arrows, and a beautiful strange bird lit on the ground beforehim. Then cried one of Wolf Tail's wives, "0h, brother, shoot that littlebird." "Don't bother me, sister," he said in reply, "I am making arrows." Againthe woman said, "0h, brother, shoot that bird for me." Then Bull TurnsRound fitted an arrow to his bow and shot the bird, and the woman went andpicked it up and stroked her face with it, and her face swelled up so hugethat her eyes and nose could not be seen. But when Bull Turns Round hadshot the bird, he went off hunting and did not know what had happened tothe woman's face.

Now when Wolf Tail came home and saw his wife's face, he exclaimed, "What is thematter?" and his wife said in reply: "Your brother has pounded me so that Icannot see. Go now and kill him." But Wolf Tail exclaimed, "No, I love mybrother; I cannot kill him." Then his wife cried and exclaimed: "I know you donot love me; you are glad your brother has beaten me. If you loved me, youwould go and kill him."

Then Wolf Tail went out and looked for his brother, and when he had foundhim, he exclaimed: "Come, let us get some feathers. I know where there is aneagle's nest;" and he took him to a high cliff, which overhung the river,and on the edge of this cliff was a dead tree, in the top of which theeagles had built their nest. Then exclaimed Wolf Tail, "Climb up, brother, andkill the eagles;" and when Bull Turns Round had climbed nearly to the top,Wolf Tail called out, "I am going to push the tree over the cliff, and youwill be killed."
