On the way home, Wus met Kaiutois’ daughter, and she told him that Blaiwas’ daughter had come back to see her father, and Kûlta was with her.
“Will they go home soon?” asked Wus.
“Yes, but you mustn’t harm them.”
“I never harm people,” said Wus. “You shouldn’t think that way of me.”
When he got home, his mother asked: “Where have you been?”
Wus said: “I don’t want you to ask me things all the time. If you bother me, I will go off and not come back.”
The next day Blaiwas’ sister and Kûlta started for home. The woman walked, but the man traveled in the lake. Wus watched him. Once, when Kûlta put his head up out of the water, Wus was right there.
“Oh, you scared me!” said Kûlta.
“Why should I scare you?” asked Wus. “I am a living person like yourself.”
“You are in my way,” said Kûlta.
