45.--HOW THE CHILDREN OF PIVÁNHONK'API OBTAINED PERMISSION TO CATCH BIRDS.

Children living at Hukovi and at Pivánhonk'api go to spring to trap birds. They are angry with each other. Hukovi children tell others they will not trap birds there, but that they can if they give them something. Children from Pivánhonk'api go and get food, which they give to children from Hukovi. After that, children from both villages always catch birds there.
