The father called his son, and ka'-ag came down the tree, and, as the father went toward him, ka'-ag stood up clawing and striking at the man with his hands, and breathing a rough throat cry like this: "Haa! haa! haa!" Then the man ran home crying, and he never got his boys. Pretty soon there was a-sa'-wan nan ka'-ag with a babe.
"We can not keep fat without meat; we are getting poor and thin, and pretty soon we shall die." "That is true," answered the other boy; "pretty soon we shall die. I believe I shall be ka'-ag." And during the day thick hair came on this boy's arms; and then he became hairy all over; and then it was so he was ka'-ag, and he vanished in the mountains. Then soon the other boy was ka'-ag, too.
At night he went home and told the father: "Your boy is ka'-ag; he is in the mountains." The boy ran out of the house quickly. The father went to the mountains to get his boy, but ka'-ag ran up a tall tree; at the foot of the tree was a pile of bones.
