Well,  it  was  banning  to  grow  dark.  In  a  while  the  blankets
were  spread  (for  them).  "It  is  over  there  that  you  yourselves
are  to  sleep,"  the  men  were  told.  On  the  other  side  of  the  fire
was  where  the  women  were  sleeping.  When  midnight  came,  then
up  from  bed  rose  TcizhS;  very  anxious  was  he  to  eat.  Then  he
woke  his  elder  brother.  "O  my  elder  brother!  very  eager  am  I
to  eat."

"In  truth  it  was  on  that  account  that  you  were  reminded  of
your  lack  of  (self-)  restraint  in  time  of  want.  Therefore  you  per-
haps had  better  try  to  steal  what  we  did  not  eat  up.  In  yonder
jar  was  where  the  food  was  placed. "

Truly  up  to  his  feet  rose  the  boy;  stealthily  then  went  he  over
to  where  he  found  the  jar;  when  he  put  (his  hand)  into  the  jar,
sure  enough,  he  found  (something)  to  eat.  Very  savory  did  he
find  the  taste  of  the  food.  He  thought  while  he  ate:  "Would  that
my  elder  brothers  were  also  eating  (this)!"  After  taking  (as)
much  (as  he  could  hold  in  his  hands),  he  then  started  to  go  to  where
his  elder  brother  was.  Extremely  dark  was  the  night,  and  it  so
happened  that  where  he  went  was  where  the  women  were  asleep.
