Then they started for the fishing place. They fished all night. When the sun rose Little Pitch wanted to go ashore.
Raven said, “I enjoy the fishing. Lie down in the bow of the canoe and cover yourself with a mat.”
Little Pitch did so. After a while Raven called, “Little Pitch!”
He answered, “Heh!”
After a while Raven called again, “Little Pitch!”
He answered again in a loud voice.
Again after some time, Raven called again, “Little Pitch!”
Then Little Pitch’s answer was very weak because the sun was getting warm.
Now Raven hauled up his line and paddled home. He pretended to paddle hard, but he only put his paddles into the water edgewise. Again he called, “Little Pitch!”
“Heh!” Little Pitch replied, but his voice was very weak. The sun was getting still hotter. Then Raven knew that Little Pitch was melting.
