When Tulchuherris had given the headband, he said,--

"My father-in-law, you are split--you are two. The larger part of you

will be Sas [the sun], the smaller part Chanahl [the moon, the white

one]; and this division is what you have needed for a long time, but

no one had the strength to divide you. You are in a good state now.

You, Chanahl, will grow old quickly and die; then you will come to

life and be young again. You will be always like that in this world.

And, Sas, you will travel west all the time, travel every day without

missing a day; you will travel day after day without resting. You will

see all things in the world as they live and die. My father-in-law,

take this, too, from me."

Tulchuherris threw up to Sas a quiver made of porcupine skin.

"I will take it," said Sas, "and I will carry it always."
