Then he felt in his little dried up sac and brought out a coal, he put the coal on top of the tobacco, he put it on top and he blew, he blew, and blew it afire.  Four times he drew, and then he offered it to his brother, Kuksu.

11.  Four time he made as if to take it, and then he received it.  Four times he drew, and then he offered it back to Marumda. He received it, and put it back into his little dried-up sack.
