Kaiutois was sick for a long time, and he was alone in his house. One day Wus went to see him and Kaiutois said: “I want you to find me something to eat; I am hungry.”
Wus killed some mice, put them in a basket, and carried them to Kaiutois. Kaiutois ate them at one mouthful and said: “I feel better, but I am weak, for I am hungry. You must call deer and try to kill one. Call loud so they can hear, and say: ‘Come and dance. Big-ribs is going to die.’ When they come, you must kill a white-faced one; they are the fattest.”
Wus called: “All those who live in the mountains, come! The man who has killed so many people is dying. I am going to have a dance. I am glad.”
The deer didn’t hear, so Wus called again: “Big-ribs, the man who drives you around and kills you, is dying. Come and dance!”
That time Big deer heard, and said: “Get ready; Wus wants us to dance with him. Big-ribs is dying.”
When they started, Wus saw them and called to Kaiutois: “They are coming! they are coming!”
