And during the day thick hair came on this boy’s arms; and then he became hairy all over; and then it was so—he was ka′-ag, and he vanished in the mountains.
Then soon the other boy was ka′-ag, too. At night he went home and told the father:
“Your boy is ka′-ag; he is in the mountains.”
The boy ran out of the house quickly. The father went to the mountains to get his boy, but ka′-ag ran up a tall tree; at the foot of the tree was a pile of bones. The father called his son, and ka′-ag came down the tree, and, as the father went toward him, ka′-ag stood up clawing and striking at the man with his hands, and breathing a rough throat cry like this:
“Haa! haa! haa!”
Then the man ran home crying, and he never got his boys.
Pretty soon there was a-sa′-wan nan ka′-ag[3] with a babe. Then there were many little children; and then, pretty soon, the mountains were full of monkeys.
