Ta-Vwots Conquers the Sun: Ta-Vwots

He jumped in and lay quite still as they wove the neck, and they laughed to think that it was braided so small that he could never escape, when-puff!the jug was shattered and there was Ta-Vwots. They did not know anything about his magic breath.

They wondered how he got out. "Easily enough," replied the hare god. "These things may hold water, but they can't hold men and women. Try it, and see if they can." With their consent, Ta-Vwots began weaving the osiers about them, and in a little while he had them caged. "Now, come out," he said. But, try as they might, not a withe could they break. "Ha, ha! You are wise women, aren't you? Bottled in your own jugs!

I am on my way to kill the Sun. In time I shall learn how." Then, sounding his war-whoop, he struck them dead with his magic ball and went on.

He met the Bear next day, and found him digging a hole to hide in, for he had heard of the hare god and was afraid. "Don't be frightened, friend Bear," said the rogue. "I'm not the sort of fellow to hide from. How could a little chap like me hurt so many people?" And he helped the Bear to dig his den, but when it was finished he hid behind a rock, and as the Bear thrust his head near him he launched his magic ball at his face and made an end of him. "I was afraid of this warrior," said Ta- Vwots, "but he is dead, now, in his den." And sounding his war-whoop he went on.
