Kaiutois lay down and Wus wrapped him up so no one could see him. When deer crowded into the house, Wus took a club and began to dance; every time he came to Kaiutois, he struck him with the club. The deer danced and raised a terrible dust.
At last Big deer said: “That is enough; we have a long way to go before dark.” [[184]]
Wus said: “If this man doesn’t die to-night, I will call you again to-morrow.”
The white-faced deer went first. They looked so big that Wus was scared; he didn’t touch them. The last to go was a fawn. Wus told him to wait, and when the big ones were out of sight, Wus killed the little one.
Kaiutois ate him and complained that he hadn’t enough. He said: “It is just as if I hadn’t eaten a mouthful. I didn’t tell you to catch that little lean fawn; I told you to kill a big, white-faced deer. To-morrow you must call to the wŭyĕs (mountain sheep). Maybe it will be easier to kill one of them. They live among the rocks.”
The next morning Wus called: “Those who always live among the rocks, come and dance. The man who runs after you and kills you is going to die, and I am glad. When he killed a deer, he drove me off; he never gave me a bite. Come and dance with me!”
Wus watched, and when he saw them coming, he told Kaiutois.
Kaiutois said: “Wrap me up tight. When they are through dancing, kill one that has never had young; they are the best.”
When the wŭyĕs were in the house, Wus took up a club, and they all began to dance. They danced a long time and raised a terrible dust. When they were ready to go, they looked so big that Wus was afraid; he let them all go but the last one, a little fellow. He held him back, and said: “Wait, wait a minute, you will get pushed down if you go in that crowd.”
When the large ones were out of sight, Wus killed the little one and told Kaiutois to get up and eat.
