When Wus got home, he said to his mother: “When I travel around, I hear Tsmuk’s daughter singing. I am going to find out why she always sings about me. She lives off by the great water. Those people always live by the great water. I shall be gone a long time.” It took Wus a good many days to make the journey. At last he came to the top of a high mountain, and looking down, he saw Tsmuk’s house. Tsmuk’s daughter saw him, though she was in the house. She said: “Momáltciks (Big Eyes) is coming,—the man who is always after some girl.” Daytime was night for those people. There were people living near Tsmuk’s house, and when it was growing dark, Wus saw that they were getting ready to dance. He fixed himself up, put blue shells in his hair, and put on a blanket covered with nice beads, then he went down to the flat. When the people saw him coming, they stopped dancing and asked one another: “What strange man is that?” Pap was there. He knew Wus; he was his cousin. Pap asked: “Why did you come here?” “I wanted to look around; I got tired of staying at home,” said Wus. Pap said: “These people will give you one of their young women.” “I don’t want one. Where is Tsmuk’s house? I came to get his daughter.” “What could you do with Iúnika?” asked Pap. “You can see her only a little while just before dark. No one can see her in the night or in the daytime. That is why she doesn’t get a man. I don’t think you can go into Tsmuk’s house. You must dance with us.” “What kind of a dance is this?” asked Wus. “Where is the hair you are dancing over?” “This isn’t that kind of a dance. We dance to stay at home and be glad.” (When they had a war dance they danced over a hair out of an enemy’s scalp.) Wus danced better than Pap or any of the other men. The people liked him and wanted to give him one of their young women. Pap said: “Iúnika won’t have anything to say to you. I have listened to her, and she always sings against you. When she gets angry, she can do almost anything. She knows a great many things that we don’t know.” “I know as much as she does,” said Wus. “Maybe I can’t take her home, but I will try. You must go with me. If we can’t get into the house, we will come back.” That night Wus danced better than he had before. Pap’s wife asked: “What does that young man live on? He hasn’t eaten since he came here.” “I don’t know,” said Pap; “he travels around all the time. No matter how far away a place is, he goes there.” Toward night Wus went off to a green spot, and, looking toward the sun, he saw lots of black spiders in the air. He caught the spiders in his mouth and ate them. After he had eaten a great many, he went back to Pap’s house and said to his cousin: “You promised to go with me to Tsmuk’s house.” “I am afraid to go,” said Pap. “They may make our eyes dark, so we can’t see in the daytime. Iúnika will know you.” “If you are afraid, I will go alone,” said Wus. “No, if you go I will go, too.”
