She said, “Where shall I get it from, that you say that?”
“Grandmother, how is it that you say so?” asked the stranger.
She replied, “Waziya treats this people very badly. When they go out to kill buffalo, he takes it all, and now they are starving to death.”
Now Waziya was a giant who caused very cold weather and blizzards.
Then he said, “Grandmother, go to him and say, ‘My grandchild has come on a journey and has nothing to eat; so he has sent me to you.’”
So the old woman went and standing at a distance, cried, “Waziya, my grandchild has come on a journey and has nothing to eat; so he has sent me to you.”
He replied, “Bad old woman, get you home; what do you mean by coming here?”
The old woman came home crying, and saying that Waziya had threatened to kill some of her relations.
Star-born said, “My friend, take your strap; we will go there.”
The old woman interfered: “I have with difficulty raised my grandchild.”
