Then one went outside the house. He thought: "Let me go upriver." Then he went a short way. Then behold he slipped in upslope direction. Then he slipped in downriver direction. Then he slipped in upriver direction. Then he slipped in downslope direction. Then he slipped in under a rock. "Oh, what a nice looking rock lying here." Then he picked it up, that rock, that pretty rock. Then he packed that rock around. Then he set it down on the ground again. Then he thought: "Let me do just a little bit of job on this nice rock, it looks so nice." Then he did just a little bit of job on it. "Let me taste it by sticking out my tongue. Well. It tastes good. Let me do a little bit more of job on it." Then he tasted it again by sticking out his tongue. "Oh, it tastes like manure." He did thus. Then he turned into apsunmunukich (snake species) right there, he went in under the overhanging rocks.
