Kaiutois couldn’t stand up; he was too sick; so Wus fed him. Kaiutois said: “This meat is too soft, and there isn’t enough of it. I shall never get well if I don’t have plenty to eat. You must kill something that is fat and old.”
Wus said: “Maybe I could, if you would help me.”
Kaiutois found him a heavier club and told him to call the antelopes. Wus called: “Antelopes, come and dance [[185]]with me. The man who has eaten so many of your people is almost dead. He will die quickly if we dance.”
When Wus saw them coming, Kaiutois said: “Cover me with something thin; maybe I’ll catch one.”
Wus stood on the top of the house and danced, and sang: “I’m glad Kaiutois is going to die. He always drove me away when he had anything to eat.” When the antelopes were all in the house, Wus told them to stand around and see him dance on Kaiutois. He jumped up and down on Kaiutois, while Kaiutois looked at the antelopes and picked out the one he wanted,—the fattest one. When they were through dancing, and ready to go, Wus caught hold of the fat antelope. It came near carrying him off, but Kaiutois jumped up and killed it.
Kaiutois ate the meat and fat and gave the intestines to Wus. He felt stronger then, and said: “Maybe I will get well if I can get out in the woods. Maybe I can kill big game again.”
Wus helped him out, and after a while Kaiutois told him to call deer. He said: “I’ll go into the house and wrap up in a blanket, and when they are almost through dancing, you must say: ‘This man is dead. Throw him out!’ When they throw me out, I will run at them and kill as many as I can.”
Wus called: “I want everybody who lives on the mountains and among the rocks to come. Kaiutois is almost dead. This is his last day, we must all dance!”
Everybody came, for everybody was glad. When they had danced enough, they threw Kaiutois out and started for home. Kaiutois ran after them and killed a great many. Wus helped him all he could. Kaiutois told him he should have as much as he wanted to eat, but when the deer were piled up in the house, Kaiutois drove Wus away, told him to go and hunt mice for himself.
Kaiutois stayed in the house till he had eaten all the deer meat. Then he turned to a wolf and went off to the mountains. He never had a home again. [[186]]
