Told by John York.1

One time a man shot another with his bow and arrow for stealing his wife.2 He watched the actions of his wife and this man and saw them sleeping together in a bush, when he shot them with his arrows and killed them both.3 He went to work and cut up about half the man into little bits and threw these up in the air.4 The pieces of meat did not fall back again, but became different birds, such as the blue jay, robins and others.5 He cut some more pieces a little bigger and threw these up in the air too, when they became gulls, cranes and such-like birds.6
