Stone had become very hot. Grizzly Bear said: | I'll watch and bite Chief Ya.uk"e'ika*m." | Then Grizzly Bear opened his mouth, and Gray Stone | burst from the heat.^[1] He flew into the mouth of Grizzly Bear. | Gray Stone went right through him, and came out || at 170

his backside. Then Grizzly Bear fell back. | Gray Stone rolled himself about and said: | "I have soiled my flesh." Thus Grizzly Bear was killed. Then | Grizzly Bear was changed into a grizzly bear. He was not a person | when he started from the tent. Then he changed into a grizzly bear, || and he remained a grizzly bear when Gray Stone 175 had killed him. | He was no longer a man. |

Chief Ya.uk"e'ika'm stood there. He thought: "My uncle Gray Stone is skillful. | He killed the grizzly bear. If it had not been for Gray | Stone, Grizzly Bear would have killed me." Ya.uk"e'ika*m thought: || Well, let me see my grandmother Frog. What may she 180 do I if I go back to her tent ?" He said: "Well, cut off the head of | the grizzly bear. I'll drag it to my grandmother Frog. What | may she do for me?" Then the head of the grizzly bear and its paws | were cut off. Ya.uk"e'ika'm dragged it along. He entered his grandmother's || tent. He said to her: "Grandmother, Grizzly Bear is 185 pursuing me." Frog said: | "O grandson, grandson! what can I do for you? | What am I? Why do you come back to me? | You should go back to your parents. Your uncle | Gray Stone is very skillful. He ought to kill Grizzly Bear." Frog arose. || She sang(?). She 190 took red paint and painted her legs. | She took a sharp flat stone and put it up by the doorway. | She took her hammer and stood ready to strike Grizzly Bear. Frog did not | see the rawhide strap with which Ya.uk"e'ika*m was dragging the head. | (The head) was lying in the doorway. When Ya.uk^e'ika'm || saw his grandmother 195 ready (to strike), he pulled the strap. | Then the grizzly-bear head dropped down under the door. | Grizzly Bear put his nose into the tent. Then Frog saw | Grizzly Bear put in his head where the flat stone lay. | Almost the whole head of Grizzly Bear came in. Frog thought: II "The head might jump at my grandson," | and she struck 200 the grizzly-bear head. | When Frog was striking it, Ya.uk"e'ika'm pulled hard at | the strap and pulled the grizzly-bear head in. Just then Frog | struck it and hit her flat stone. She broke || the flat stone. *205

Then Frog saw that her grandson | was fooling her. She cried because | her grandson had done some damage. Therefore she cried. |
