Part 13 (2/2)

As there was neither shelter nor food for them in the village, they went to live in the woods, and one day they saw a cannibal building a fire.

He had both a fine house and much goods, so one of the men said, ”Let us go kill him, and take his goods.”

”Eyeless-needle” said, ”No, we must not kill him now. When he sleeps we will kill him. I have planned just how it shall be done. You, 'Rotten-Egg,' go to the fireplace. You, 'Old-Fish,' jump into the water jar. 'Rotten-Banana,' lie down at the top of the stairs, and, you, 'Broken-Pestle,' lie at the foot.”

As the eye of day had closed and the cannibal slept, ”Eyeless-Needle,”

from under the bed, p.r.i.c.ked him. The cannibal thought insects were biting him, and, unable to sleep, he arose to build a fire. When he stooped to blow the flame, ”Rotten-Egg” broke and flew up into his face; when he sought the water jar to wash his face, ”Old-Fish” jumped and broke the jar and all the water was lost. Taking the dipper to go to the well for water, the cannibal slipped on ”Rotten-Banana” and fell downstairs, where ”Broken-Pestle” struck him on the head and killed him.

Then, taking much goods, ”Eyeless-Needle,” ”Rotten-Banana,”

”Rotten-Egg,” ”Old-Fish,” and ”Broken-Pestle” fled, and to this day, has no one either seen or heard of them.
