"Whence have you come, Waziya, that you act so proudly?" he retorted.
Waziya said, "Fallen Star, whoever points his finger at me dies." The
young man thought, "I will point my finger at him and see if I die."
He pointed his finger, but it made no difference.
Then Fallen Star said, "Waziya, whoever points his finger at me, his
hand loses all use." So Waziya thought, "I will point my finger and
see." He pointed his finger. His forearm lost all use. Then he
pointed his finger with the other hand. It was destroyed even to the
elbow.
Then Fallen Star drew out his knife and cut up Waziya's blanket, and
all the buffalo meat he had gathered there fell out. Fallen Star
called to the people, "Henceforth kill and carry home."
So the people took the meat and carried it to their tepees.
The next morning, they say, it was rumored that the blanket of Waziya,
which had been cut to pieces, had been sewed up by his wife. He was
about to shake it.
The giant stood with his face toward the north and shook his blanket.
Then the wind blew from the north. Snow fell all about the camp so
that the people were all snowed in. They were much troubled. They
said, "We did live in some fashion before; but now this young man has
acted so we are in great trouble."
