The old man told his son to take the form of a deer and run at Kai and kill him. “Put your heart in your foot,” said he. “Kai can’t shoot at your foot.” Then he called out: “A deer is coming! A deer is coming!”
Góshgoise’s heart was with his brother and it kept calling to him: “Pets, pets, pets! Pets, pets, pets!” (Foot, foot, foot!) It did that to help Kai and tell him that he must shoot the deer in the foot, for its life was there.
When the deer got near, Kai thought: “Maybe my brother is telling me to shoot the deer in the foot.” He shot; the arrow went through the deer’s foot and killed him.
When the old man came, he asked: “Where is the deer?”
“I fell asleep,” said Kai; “the deer passed me.”
“I told you to sit still, and watch for it.”
“I shot at it once,” said Kai. “Maybe I hit it.”
“Where is it?”
Kai told him and he went to hunt for the deer. When he found it, he felt badly. He tried to look glad, but he didn’t say much. He only said: “We won’t cut up this deer till we kill another one. There are five paths here where deer run. I will show you a good place. This time you must sit still; you mustn’t lie down and go to sleep.” When they got to the place, Natanatas said: “Sit here and watch; I will go and scare the deer.”
When a deer ran toward Kai, he hid. The deer looked for [[363]]him, and the old man called: “Deer is coming! Deer is coming!” Again little Góshgoise said, “Pets, pets, pets!”
