He begged her for a short time or a long time and the third time she said: “Well, if you really want me to with all your heart, put your head here on my knee.” War-Arrow Spirit, Death-Arrow Spirit put his head on his wife’s knee and his wife ran her fingers through his hair, searched, but found nothing. “There’s nothing,” she said, “as long as we’ve been living, I’ve searched and found nothing, should I find something today? There’s nothing.” “Fine,” he said, “then tie up your belt, throw on your fur coat, tie on a kerchief and go to father, to the old man with the hundred relatives. Ask him for an endless horse hair, for an endless cow hair.” The wife said: “Before, as long as we lived, I looked at your head and didn’t find even one little blood-mouse. You say offensive words, you say insulting words. Now look, what words you said to me.” “Fine, go on,” he said, “don’t listen, get dressed and go.”

Once there lived seven girls, seven girls. The time came to gather berries, they went to gather berries. Across the sea. They went and went. They came to a wooded land, full of berries. They went with full buckets, they filled the buckets. Suddenly one girl came, looked, and saw wood grouse nestlings. She saw the wood-grouse nestlings and the older sisters said: “Come one, there are seven nestlings, let’s take all seven nestlings. We’ll cook them.” The wood grouse had taken wing and flown off. The girls went and roasted the wings of these nestlings in a pot. They ate them up and the wood grouse flew back and started to search, but there were no nestlings. The seven girls had cooked and eaten them.

He waited for a long or a short time and sat down. The man who had left through the opening of the woman’s mouth rolled out and brought the calf of a wild deer. He had just killed it, it was still completely fresh. He placed it on the floor, he placed it on the hide and took the hide off, the hide of the wild deer’s calf fell off. He took a pot, cut up the meat and put it into the pot. He put a woman’s knife and a man’s knife into the pot. He said to the person who came to visit: “Go, look for an eating companion, we’ll eat fresh meat.” But he just thought and thought: “There’s no one outside, where will I find myself a companion for the meal? Where will I find people?” “No, no,” he said. Not listening, he said: “Go out and bring an eating companion.”

He thought and broke open another seven cones, nothing more, and again looked on both sides. He was happy and started to live on like he had lived. How he had lived before, everything had ended. The next day broke, he went off again. He though: “I killed no game, I’ll go into the forest.” He went into the big forest, and there he found a house like in a town, a place like that and there were people, he could see them coming and going. Suddenly the squirrel jumped out of the forest. It jumped out, threw the squirrel skin into a corner of the house and became a woman, glittering like gold. He said: “While I have lived on the earth, I have looked for a life-companion to live with, a companion for living on the bench, a companion for living by day, but I have found none all my life.” She said: “This is the place for us to live. Here we will live.”
