138. The people spake, saying: The little ones have nothing of which to make their bodies, 139. Give heed, younger brothers, and see what can be done. 140. Then to the youngest of the brothers, 141. They spake, saying: O, younger brother, 142. The little ones have nothing of which to make their bodies. 143. Even as these words were being spoken, 144. The messenger stood before Deer-head (Pleiades), who sitteth in the heavens, 145. To whom he spake, saying: O, my grandmother! 146. She replied: My grandchild! 147. The messenger spake: The little ones have nothing of which to make their bodies. 148. Deer-head replied: I am a person of whom the little ones may well make their bodies, 149. I am a god who has power to resist death. 150. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 151. They also shall have power to resist death, as they travel the path of life. 152. Even among the gods 153. There is not one who is able to see my path. 154. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 155. Even the gods 156. Shall not be able to see their path, as they travel the path of life. 157. Even among the gods 158. There is not one who can stand in my way to prevent my going. 159. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 160. Even the gods 161. Shall not be able to stand in their way to prevent their going. 162. Moreover, I have been able to bring myself to see old age. 163. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 164. They also shall be able to bring themselves to see old age. 165. I have been able to bring myself to the calm and peaceful days. 166. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 167. They also shall be able to bring themselves to the calm and peaceful days, as they travel the path of life. 7
