The mother said: “There is only one big house. You [[187]]will know Blaiwas when you see him, for he flies without moving his wings.”
When the girls came to the top of the mountain, they sat down to rest and watch for Blaiwas. They hadn’t been there long when they saw Ndúkis coming.
He was out of breath, for it was hard for him to fly high.
The elder sister said: “There is Blaiwas; he flies just as mother said he did.”
The younger sister said: “No, that isn’t Blaiwas.” They watched him till he flew down among the rocks; then the elder sister said: “His house is down there; we must follow him.”
When Ndúkis got home, he was so nearly dead that he fell into the house. His mother jumped on him, and asked: “What is the matter?” (He knew that the girls were watching him and he had tried to fly as Blaiwas did.) The old woman kept asking what had happened, but Ndúkis wouldn’t tell.
When the sisters came in sight of the house, the elder said: “That is Blaiwas’ house.”
The younger said: “Mother told us that Blaiwas’ house was large; that one is small. It isn’t Blaiwas’ house.” The elder sister scolded her and pulled her along.
When Ndúkis saw the girls coming, he told his mother to hurry and fix a good place for them to sit.
“What shall I fix it with?” asked the old woman. They had no mats or blankets.
