The next day when he was going home, with his belt full of deer, he wanted water and went to Tsiwisa to get it. After he had drunk, he remembered that the spring was near the place where Kumush had made the tree, with the eagle’s nest on it, grow up to the sky. He didn’t like the place, for it made him feel lonesome. That night he said to the sisters: “I am going away. You have plenty of meat; you can stay here with your mother and brother.”
The elder sister didn’t want to stay, and Isis said: “I am going a long way. The children are heavy; you couldn’t carry them.”
“We can carry them easily,” said the elder sister. “I don’t want to stay here.”
“Then you can go,” said Isis, for he wasn’t willing to show that he wanted them to stay.
Her sister said: “He is going to a strange country; something may happen to me. I don’t want to go.”
“You must go with us, so get ready,” said the elder sister.
The younger sister said to her mother: “I didn’t ask to go with them; she makes me go.”
“You can stay with me,” said her mother. [[37]]
“No, maybe they will be gone a long time. I will go with them, and it won’t be my fault if something happens.”
The three traveled one day, then camped at Blaiaga, the mountain where Isis and Kumush had lived. Isis said to his wives: “The spring here is bad. When you go for water you must take the children with you.”
