Min Taitai began to talk to himself. They could hear two words, “Wit, wit!” (coming back, coming back).
Olelbis stunned a third person, who was brought by Tilitchi. The old women said, “He, too, is of a good people, he is Hessiha; let him be with Min Taitai, and put a basket of red earth and water near them.”
Min Taitai talked on to himself, “Wit, wit!”
“Who is ‘Wit, wit?’” asked Hessiha.
“Sas” (the sun), answered Min Taitai, “was going down, and now he is coming back; that is who ‘Wit, wit’ is.”
“Who is coming back?” asked Hessiha.
“Sas is coming back.”
“Sas is not coming back, he is going on.”
(In winter Sas goes down south, and in summer he comes back north. Min Taitai was saying Sas is coming back, up north. Hessiha thought he was saying Sas has gone down toward the west, and now is coming back east without setting.)
“Wit, wit” (coming back, coming back), said Min Taitai.
