One of the Myths of the
Tlingit Indians of Alaska.
Recorded by John r. swanton for the smith
sonian institution

AZ certain place in the interior lived a
manly little boy who was very fond OF
hunting. He would take his lunch and 60
off hunting very early in the morning and
stay all day. bringing home two or three
porcupines in the evening. One morning
he started earlier than usual. and came
upon a giant as tan as the trees. He was
very much frightened and ran away. with
the big man in pursuit. AS the giant was
not a very fast runner. the boy kept ahead
of him until he came TO sort OF cave like
a house at the foot of hill. and entered il.
When the big man saw this he said: come
here. my grandson" The boy refused. and
the giant continued his entreaties for long
time. At last the boy consented 10 80 with
him. so the giant said: Get inside OF my
shirt win carry you that way" Then the
boy vaulted in there, and they started of.
After they had gone along IN this manner
for some time the boy, who had his head
out. saw a very small bird. called old per-
son. and said: Grandpa. there Is a bird
would like TO have" Then the big man
stopped and let him down. and ne shot the
bird with an arrow and put il into the big
mans shirt But now this bird had In
creased the boys weight so much that the
giant could scarcely move along. At every
step he took he sank deep into the moss.
When the boy noticed this he said TO him
self: How is it that, since I picked Up
this small bird. I have gotten very heavy
and II IS hard for him TO walk Then he
threw the bird away. and the giant walked
on again as lightly as before. The boy
enjoyed so much being with this giant that
he had forgotten all about his father and
mother. After that they travelled on to-
gether until they came 10 a very large lake.
In IL the boy saw beaver houses, and the
beaver dam ran right across II He thought:
