myth 12

28. After the Harumda [[?]] went on the other way, he went on and on and then he thought of making big mountain. He makes it, and on each side he made a larger river: "This will be for the fish to come out to the lake." Thereupon he went on and made a wide valley: There will be all kinds of crops," thus he said, the Harumda [[?]].

29. And now he arrived at the lake, and going along the shore he made rocks [[?]]m he makes them and: "This will be a playground for the water-bears". Thereupon he went on and made a sand-flat, and then: "This will be a playground for people. Thereafter he went on and made a mountain: "Here people will not come!  [[?]] [Hen!] [[?]] Never approach [this place]" this he said, the Harumda [[?]].

30. Thus he was going along by the shore, and he found a river [barring this way]: "Wah!" he said, "what am I going to do?", he said standing on the shore. "Ha!" [[?]] he said, and laying his walking-cane across he passed over to the other side. "Eh!" [[?]] he said, "that was the way [to do it], there was nothing else to do!"
