Lok Snewédjas took back all her seeds; she didn’t leave one of them, so no one has ever tasted of that kind of food.
To this day people can hear voices on that mountain. They are the voices of Lok Snewédjas and her children, but nobody ever sees them. [[228]]

Wámanik lived at Wiwĕnsi, in a hollow between two mountains. There was a creek near the place, with lots of fish in it. Wámanik caught fish and ate them. That was the way he lived.
East of Wiwĕnsi lived a great hunter who had four children, three daughters and a son. This man and his son each had a song that they sang while they were hunting.
