Evil thoughts of the Mantis with regard to this boy, who is left in charge of the pots of food which are upon the fire. The return of the Ticks, their attack upon the Mantis, his flight home, his revenge upon the Ticks for their inhospitality and ill-treatment of him, the consequent destitution of the Ticks, which is lamented by the relatives of the Mantis, the monster //khwái-hemm is now, by the wish of the Mantis, unwillingly summoned by his daughter, the Porcupine, to swallow for them a portion of the Ticks' flock of sheep, his fearful appearance and unlimited voracity...... he swallows the Mantis, and the brave |kwámmana as well, the fiery trial of the young sons of the Mantis and |kwámmana by the Porcupine, the monster ||khwái-hemm slain, the re-appearance of all the animals and things which had just been swallowed by him, the removal of the survivors from the place where he lay dead (L II.-32. 2916-2965, 33. 2966-3057, 34. 3058-3149).
