"0h, brother! oh, brother! pity me; do not kill me," exclaimed Bull Turns Round.

"Why did you beat my wife's face so?" exclaimed Wolf Tail.

"I didn't," cried the boy; "I don't know what you are talking about."

"You lie," said Wolf Tail, and he pushed the tree over the cliff. He lookedover and saw his brother fall into the water, and he did not come upagain. Then Wolf Tail went home and took down his lodge, and went to themain camp. When his portlyher saw him coming with only his wives, he said tohim, "Where is your young brother?" And Wolf Tail replied: "He went huntingand did not come back. We waited four days for him. I think the bears musthave killed him."

Now when Bull Turns Round fell into the river, he was stunned, and thewater carried him a long way down the stream and finally lodged him on asand shoal. Near this shoal was a lodge of Under Water People(_S[=u]'-y[=e]-t[)u]p'-pi_), an aged man, his wife, and two daughters. Thisold man was somewhat rich: he had great flocks of geese, swans, ducks, andother water-fowl, and a gigantic herd of buffalo which were tame. These buffaloalways fed near by, and the aged man called them every evening to come anddrink. But he and his family ate none of these. Their only food was thebloodsucker.[1]
