(Now) these stars are very evil minded men, as thus one may think; they see by means of wizardry that their wives had already looked through the hole in the sky; they know it when they (the wives) deny it; they give them permission to return to earth. They say to their wives: "Now to-night you shall lie together and when you wake, do not hasten too much to open your eyes; do not uncover (your faces) until the Chickadee sings and even then do not get up, but still remain quiet until you hear the Red Squirrel singing; even then again do not uncover your faces; still keep your eyes closed until you hear Chipmunk (Striped Squirrel) sing. Then indeed you may leave your bed and look around."
The younger one was impatient; as soon as the Chickadee sounds, she wanted to jump down; however, the elder one holds her: "Wait, my sister, till we hear the Chipmunk (Striped Squirrel)." Then she lies still until the squirrel begins his morning work, begins to chatter (chatters early and works early); she will not wait. So she leaps down, (and) then also the elder one; they find themselves indeed on earth, but they came down on top of a broad tall hemlock tree. They are situated so that they cannot get down, unless some one assists them.
This now happens, that by each song which the birds sing and the squirrels, they descend (a little); they approach nearer; to the earth they approach, as the sun shines (will shine) they approach, but they do not wait long enough. So they are deserted.
