The deer couldn’t see Kai. Kai shot it in the foot and killed it.
When Natanatas came, Kai said: “A deer ran by. I shot once; maybe I killed it. We will go and see.”
When the old man saw the dead deer, he said: “It’s almost dark; we will leave the deer here till morning.”
When they got home, Kai’s wife scolded her father; she said: “You will kill all my brothers trying to kill Kai, but you won’t kill him. He has more power than you have.”
The next morning Natanatas said: “My son-in-law, you are afraid of a deer. He has horns and you think he will hit you. He won’t hurt you. Sit right still and shoot when you see him coming.”
Kai thought: “This time I will sit where he puts me.”
The deer saw Kai, but Kai shot it in the foot and killed it. When the old man asked: “Where is the deer?” Kai said: “It saw me and ran off. I shot once, but maybe I missed him.”
Natanatas thought: “I have only two sons left, but I will try once more.” Tears were running down his face. He said to Kai: “I have been running; I am sweating.”
Kai killed two more of the old man’s sons. Natanatas wouldn’t let Kai touch the deer. He said: “We will come to-morrow and cut them up.” (He was going to bring them to life.)
Little Góshgoise was getting lonesome; he thought: “If my brother is going to stay around here, I will go home. He is away every day, and I am alone all the time.”
