Western Yellow-Bellied Racer (a snake) was being unfaithful to his wife. He was sleeping with another's wife. And Racer said, "Nobody will find out." So again the next day he went to see her. The woman went out too. She saw Racer a little ways off. She arrived there. And when it got dark, the woman returned home. (It was as if) she was doing no harm. She was a good woman. (But) the fact was, she was being unfaithful. And the man (her husband) didn't know.

And again the next day they were going to meet. So the next day the woman went out. She saw Racer coming. Then (hearing someone coming) he said, "Oh, they mustn't know that we're being unfaithful!" And he said, "Bury me!" So she threw dirt on him. She buried him. They were not to know.

Then Racer said, "When Mankind comes into existence, when a woman does this, when she is unfaithful, even though she thinks they won't find out, they will find out like this."
