After he had been gone a while, the younger sister said: “Let us go and see how that man divides meat.” They followed his trail till they came to a big house. They crept up carefully and looked in. Ndúkis was sitting by the ladder, and men were throwing meat into his mouth. The sisters saw Blaiwas and then they knew that it was his house. The elder sister was ashamed, and they both started for home. Ndúkis knew what had happened, and so did Blaiwas; and they followed the girls. Blaiwas caught up with them first, and when Ndúkis came, the two men began to quarrel. Blaiwas’ four brothers came and so did Ndúkis’ brothers, and there was a big fight. The eldest Blaiwas said to the sisters: “I am going to cut off Ndúkis’ head and carry it above the sky. You mustn’t look up. If you do, the head will fall and kill my brothers.” The five Blaiwas brothers killed the five Ndúkis brothers: then the eldest brother cut off Ndúkis’ head and flew away with it. He was almost to the sky when the sisters looked up; they couldn’t help it. That minute the head fell to the ground. It flew at the four Blaiwas brothers and killed them all. The head was the husband of the two sisters. The younger sister was afraid of the head; she wouldn’t stay where it was. The elder sister put it in her basket and carried it on her back; she cried all the time. After a while, the head asked: “What do you see?” “I see a deer,” said the woman. “Climb up as high as you can, then take me out of the basket, and put me down, looking toward the deer.” The woman got as high as she could and put the head down. “Now look,” said the head. It flew straight at the deer and killed it. The woman put the head back in her basket, then camped. The head said: “Put me where I can watch you.” She made a sort of scaffold and put the head on it. Then she cut up the deer and hung the meat on a tree to dry. When the meat was dry and the woman was ready to go home, the head said: “You must put meat in the basket; then put me in, and put meat on top of me.” The woman thought she would go and see Kumush, for maybe he could do something for her husband. On the road she wouldn’t speak; she was afraid that if she saw a deer the head would kill it, and she would have to dry the meat. When Kumush saw the woman, he said: “I must have that woman for my daughter,” and he asked her: “Have you anything to eat?” She put down the basket, and when Kumush looked at the meat, she said: “Don’t take much.” Kumush thought: “Why does she say that? Maybe she is hiding something,” and he began to pull the meat out of the basket. The woman went into the house, for she was afraid. The head had great eyes and long hair, and when Kumush came to it he was scared; he threw down the meat and ran into the house. The head called out: “What are you doing? Take me into the house, I don’t want to stay out here.” (The head could fly when it got mad or wanted to kill something, but not at other times.)
