"My brother Little Thunder when he went hunting would fire his gun a lot. Father went in that direction. "It is heavy, for that reason you must help him," [he said to himself]. He met him. He was coming with Little Thunder carrying a deer. Carrying it got to him. It was very heavy, and so he couldn't carry it. For that reason he gave it back to him. He came home carrying it himself."
