Then he called aloud to Kwasind,

To his friend, the strong man, Kwasind,

Saying, “Help me clear this river

Of its sunken logs and sand-bars.”

Straight into the river Kwasind

Plunged as if he were an otter,

Dived as if he were a beaver,

Stood up to his waist in water,

To his arm-pits in the river,

Swam and scouted in the river,
