The young man stepped over her five times, then ten times, and twenty times; she only moved a little.
Some of the people said: “There is an old woman among the rocks by the lake, Skoks is her medicine, maybe she could make the woman alive again.”
They sent a man after her; when she came, she said: “I want somebody to scream for me. This woman’s spirit has got near where the sun goes down; but maybe we can make it hear.”
Skoks went into a man and screamed loud.
Then the old woman said: “Her spirit has turned around. It is coming back!” Soon she said: “The spirit is here! It is going into its body.”
Right away the young woman stood up. She was beautiful and bright and well. When she saw the orphan girl, she said: “You don’t look strong or powerful. If I hadn’t had that storm with me, you couldn’t have killed me.”
She stayed three days at her father-in-law’s house, then she went back to the mountain with her husband and child.
Before they started, the young man said to his mother and his sister: “You will never see me again. I will stay with my [[227]]wife always. I don’t want to kill her spirit by coming back here where I forget all she tells me.”
They left and nobody ever saw them again.
The young man’s friends hunted for them and got other people to help, but they could never find their home or see them.
