oop. And there was a young man who was
simply looking on. By and by he said, "My friend, let us go to your
house."

So they came to his lodge. Now this young man also had been raised by
his grandmother, and lived with her, they say.

"Grandmother, I have brought my friend home with me; get him something
to eat," said the grandson.

Grandmother said, "What shall I do?"

Then the visiting young man said, "How is it, grandmother?"

She said, "The people are about to die of thirst. All who go for water
will not come back again."

Fallen Star said, "My friend, take a kettle; we will go for water."

"With difficulty have I raised my grandchild," objected the old woman.

"You are afraid of trifles," said the grandson. So he went with
Star-born.

They reached the side of the lake. By the water of the lake stood
troughs half full of water.

Star-born called out, "You who they say have killed every one who has

Then immediately whither they went is not manifest. Behold, there was

So the people were thankful and offered him two wives.

But he said, "I am journeying. My friend here will marry them."

Then Star-born went on, they say. Again he found a young man standing
where they were shooting through a hoop. He said, "I will look on with
my friend," and went and stood beside him.

Then the other said, "My friend, let us go home," so he went with him
to his tepee.

"Grandmother, I have brought my friend home with me," he said. "Get
him something to eat."

Grandmother replied, "How shall I do as you say?"

"How is it?" said Star-born.

"This people are perishing for wood," she said; "when any one goes for
wood, he never comes home again."

Star-born said, "My friend, take
