uknîi. Chipmunk was sick all the time. So they went to fetch Bluejay. They always paid him with chestnuts. So he was treating him. Then he said, "I cannot cure him! I can't do any more for him!" Then he said, "Go and fetch Hummingbird!" Then Bluejay and Hummingbird were treating him together. He got well. They said "We treated him quite hard." Now he was up and around, he was getting well nicely. Then he got sick again. So they said, "You had better go and fetch Bluejay again." Again he treated him. They paid him with chestnuts, a panful of chestnuts. So he treated him. Then he said, "I cannot do any more for him, you better fetch someone else!" They said, "You had better call Hummingbird again!" Then they fetched him. He came. He treated him. Then Bluejay sat down. Now that fellow Hummingbird was dancing the medicine dance. But Bluejay was still sitting there. Then Hummingbird (sang,) "Some time ago it was done by trickery," as he was dancing. Then he said, "My mouth is small!" Then Bluejay said, "Indeed! Maybe he will say something!" Then Hummingbird said, "Bluejay does not know his medicine!" Then he said, "katch-katch-katch-katch," and up through the smokehole he flew out of the house. That one kept poisoning Chipmunk. Because he liked chestnut mush. Therefore he poisoned Chipmunk. He was paid much chestnut mush for treating him. Therefore he poisoned him. That is all.
