“Well, my sister, I have heard that a man who lives far away west is coming to see you, Kobalus Herit. He is a good man. He lives at Nomken Kobalus Waimemton.”
“That man has a crooked nose,” said Norwan, “and a crooked mouth. I don’t like him, he is all twisted.”
Next evening Hessiha said,—
“There is a man who lives at the same place as Kobalus Herit. He wants to see you. His name is Tsanteris Herit.”
“That man has a hollow breast,” said Norwan. “I don’t like him.”
“A man from the far north is coming, Keli Herit.”
“I don’t like him,” said Norwan; “he has a bad odor. He smells like the earth.”
“A man from way down south, Bisus Herit, is coming to see you.”
“Oh, I don’t like him; his legs are too short; he eats bony fish.”
“My sister, a man is coming who lives a short distance south of us, Tede Wiu Herit.”
