But at last she had the pouch in her hand,
and stole over to the door to Noojekesigunodasit.
He found the little round box and opened
it, and there was the magical dancing doll, as
ever,

dancing and dancing away.
Well f What is it ? What is it now ! said
the magical dancing doll.

Take us back to our own village, and place
the wigwam just as it was before," Noojekesigunodasit
said. And soon they were all back
in their own home again. But the servant was
punished for his wickedness. For Noojekesigunodasit
had him put to death, and had a
blanket made of his skin to hang before the
door of the wigwam, to show all people the
punishment
of such a wicked servant.
Now the old chief could never be satisfied to
think that the young stranger had been stronger
than he in magical power. So he tried once
more, and for the last time, to destroy him.
One day, he said quietly to Noojekesigunodasit:
"I want you to bring me the head of a
chepechcalm for my
dinner." Now the chepechcalm
was a terrible monster, a dragon. He
gave magical power to all the medicine men,
and the chief himself was a medicine man. And
so he thought that the chepechcalm would put
an end to Noojekesigunodasit.
