Sas put the fox-skin around his head, and fastened the mokos crosswise in front of his forehead. The fire-drill he fastened in his hair behind, placing it upright. At sunrise we see the hair of the fox-skin around Sas’s head before we see Sas himself.
Next Tulchuherris threw up two red berries, saying,—
“Take these and make red cheeks on each side of your face, so that when you rise in the morning you will be bright, and make everything bright.”
Tulchuherris went west and got some white roots from the mountain, threw them to Sas, and said, “Put these across your forehead.”
Next he stretched his right hand westward, and two large shells, blue inside, came to his palm. He threw these to Sas and said,—
“Put these on your forehead for a sign when you come up in the morning. There is a place in the east which is all fire. When you reach that place, go in and warm yourself. Go to Olelpanti now. Olelbis, your father, lives there. He will tell you where to go.”
Sas went to Olelpanti, where he found a wonderful and very big sweat-house. It was toward morning, and Olelbis was lying down, covered with a blanket. While sleeping he heard a noise, and when he woke he saw some one near him. He knew who it was. Sas turned to him and said,—
“My father, I am split. I thought myself the strongest person in the world, but I was not. Tulchuherris is the strongest.”
“Well, my son Sas,” asked Olelbis, “where do you wish to be, and how do you wish to live?”
“I have come to ask you,” replied Sas.
