��two Suns." After the Suns had been killed the stones began to harden.

Then Ma'milji said : " There are too many people ; there will

be no room for them if they do not die. I will die to show

them the way." When she was dying Ma'milji said : " The

Burunduk does not die ; in winter he hibernates ; in summer he

hibernates. Thus they will continue to live. The small snake ,,.J and the large snake will hibernate in winter; in summer they

will revive. Other animals shall be born and die. Man shall be born and die."
