In the end, his brother becomes a wolf, and Haxige, a deer. Undated.

Handwritten note cites James Owen Dorsey, 'The Ȼegiha Language' in 'Contributions to North American Ethnology,' Vol. 6, p. 138: Orphan's sister only gives him liver of game her husband kills. Buffalo Woman encourages him to take choice pieces and restores the meat as before eaten. Orphan follows the woman and she gives him inexhaustible supply of food. Every morning, the lodge disappears and Orphan is left lying on the grass. [Buffalo Woman is pregnant.] At her delivery, Ictinike steals the calf, but it eventually runs away from him. The calf is directed by an old buffalo to pass through (1) drops of rain, (2) dense rain, and (3) dense fog. Calf stops to suck from scabby old buffalo and is unwilling to go to his mother, but is finally taken to her. Recognition test - Orphan comes and is given test. Woman says privately she will move her ear; ditto child. P. 142: Variant of Recognition test. P. 145: Variant - Every morning, the lodge disappears and Orphan is left lying on the grass. Follows Buffalo Woman all day and overtakes her at night. Obstacles: canyon, thorns, road to sky. (Arrives - Recognition test with ear moving.) Each morning Orphan finds his wife gone; Buffalo Woman gives him up. He returns home and finds his sister and her husband starving. He brings all the animals back, and his sister is kind to him. Undated.
