The old woman took Ilhataina out of the basket and carried him to them. Demauna caught him in his arms. "Well done, my brother!" said he. All the rest called him brother. "Let me have him," said Ahalamila. "No," answered Demauna; "I will keep him myself." They asked the old woman where she had found Ilhataina. She would not tell. "Will you sweat?" asked Ilhataina. "Yes," said all the people. "I will bring wood," said he. When he ran out, the sweat-house danced in its place. All thought he was too small to carry wood, but when he snatched a tall fir the earth trembled. When he touched a big sugar-pine, he crushed it. He brought great trees in a moment, and when he put them down the place shivered. All were in terror. When Ilhataina talked the whole world was afraid, and when he moved the ground which he walked on was quivering. All sweated, swam in the river, and went back to the old woman's. Ilhataina walked across the house, and his heart shook as if it would jump from his body. "I am not going to stay here," said he. When Demauna heard this, he cried, and the old woman cried. "My brother," said Demauna, "I should like to know where you are going. I wish you would stay with us." Ilhataina made no answer. "My brother," said Jupka, "if you will not stay here, I wish you would go to the sky. Now," said Jupka, "will you take beads as a gift from me?" "No." "Shells?" "No." "Wolf robes?" "No." "Wildcat robes?" "No." "Foxskin robes?" "No." Jupka wore an old ragged rabbit-skin robe. He had worn it a long time. "I think you like this," said he. "Yes," answered Ilhataina, "that's what I want." He took the old robe and tied it with weeds around his waist. "Now I am ready to leave you. Come out and see me go." There was a black cloud in the sky. Ilhataina had brought it there. "I will go up to that place," said he. "Whenever rain comes in future, it will be water falling from my rabbit robe." All hurried out. Jupka's son, Jul Kurula, who was wrapped in a black bearskin, came down into the sweat-house and cried; he didn't wish to lose Ilhataina. "Now, my friends," said Ilhataina, "I leave you; hereafter when you see me travel I shall go like this;" and he went with a flash to the black cloud. He was taken into it, and now he stays there.
