“I will go to his lodge and visit him,” said the north wind one day, as he saw Shingebis dragging home a great fish.
He went that night to the lodge by the water.
Shingebis did not know he was coming. He did not care. He cooked the great fish and ate his supper, then lay on his side before the burning log and sang a mocking song about the north wind. It was this:
Ka neej, ka neej,
Bi in, bi in,
Bon in, bon in,
Ok ee, ok ee,
Ka weya, ka weya.
Shingebis may have known that the one he was singing about stood outside his doorway, for he sang this song many times.
The north wind could endure it no longer. He would see the creature that did not care for his hurting. He came in and sat down opposite the loon-bird, the great Shingebis.
