[Aputomkon kept back all the water in the world; so that the rivers stopped flowing and the lakes dried up and the people everywhere began dying of thirst. They sent a messenger to him to ask him to give the people water.]
Ma kenoq ciksotuwawiyol yuhtol peciptoq kolusuwakon. Kekesk tehpu miluwat samaqan.

[but he refused and gave the messenger only a drink from the water in which he washed… then the people began complaining, a great man was sent to aputomkon to beg him to release the water for the people. Aputomkon refused, saying that he needed it himself to lie in.
Nutacomit-yaq kisi-kiptahal oposiyik nit eli siktuhu Aputomkun. Nit Wolastoq eli ihi… Yuhtol pskethunol eli sipelkik, nit toke samaqan eli- pecicuwok mipiyil-olu toke Qotasquwisol woniyakon eli pokosok nihtol nit toke spihsol.
[ then the messenger felled a tree, so that it fell on top of the monster and killed him…this tree became the main river… and the branches became the tributary branches of the river, while the leaves became the ponds at the heads of streams.]
