Wus said to his brothers-in-law: “You will come to my country and live with me always.” To his wife he said: “I am taking you from Darkness; now you will change feelings. I will give you the water of life. When we get to the house, you must go in first, drink the water you find there, and give some to each one of your brothers and to your mother; it will change your minds. As you travel, go straight ahead; don’t look back. If the wind comes from the east, you must go around it. Old Tsmuk has tried to beat me in many ways; maybe he will try again.” [[135]]
When they got to Wus’ house, the young woman went in and gave water to her mother and to her brothers. As they drank, they seemed to open their eyes, they had good feelings, felt light.
Wus said to his wife: “Off on a high mountain I have an old grandmother; her name is Wuswelékgăs; I am going to see her.” When he started, he began to sing. The old woman heard his song, and said: “My grandson is coming.”
Wus traveled fast; he went like a spirit, and right away he was there. He thought: “I will cheat her.” Then he said: “Grandmother, I have lost my mind; this world has made me lose it. When I slept, Gäk woke me up, and I hadn’t my mind.”
His grandmother said: “I was afraid Tsmuk would kill you.”
“No,” said Wus. “I have turned Tsmuk to a cloud and driven him away. But he may try to beat me yet; that is why I came to tell you to take care of yourself.”
“How can I take care of myself? I shall be hungry,” said the old woman.
“I will show you where there are mice,” said Wus, and he took her to a field where there were lots of them. She was glad, for she would always have plenty to eat.
When Wus started home, he began to sing. His wife said: “Wus is coming,” and she pounded roots for him to eat.
When Wus got to the house, his brother-in-law asked: “Will you go with me to hunt deer on the mountain?”
