Then Cogátkis began to cry; he wanted to go with his sisters. When his mother gave each of the girls water for the road he screamed.
Yaulilik said to her daughters: “Your brother feels lonesome; let him go with you.”
The elder sister said: “If the lolus seeds are not ripe, we shall come home. He is little; he can’t travel fast.”
The younger sister was sorry for her brother, so she tied his hair in a knot on the top of his head and told her mother to take him to Duilas (Little Shasta). From Duilas, through the power of his hair, he could see them when they were on the mountain.
The sisters started toward Mlaiksi, and Yaulilik took Cogátkis to Duilas. Cogátkis could watch his sisters, and he could talk with his mother, though the house was a long way off.
The sisters gathered seeds all day. When it was nearly dark, the elder sister asked: “Shall we stay here to-night?” [[33]]
“We have only a few seeds,” said the younger sister. “We can stay all night and fill our baskets in the morning.”
When Cogátkis saw them picking up wood, he went home. Early the next morning he went again to Duilas. The girls were busy gathering seeds, so Cogátkis called to his mother: “They are at work again!”
At midday the younger sister said: “I want water; where can we get some?”
“I don’t know. There is no water near here.”
