WONDER TALES OF THE FOREST 29
And then she told the sister-in-law
When she had finished,
all that had happened.
Bootup s sister said:
will "I
help you rescue your brother. There
is but one thing that will break the dragon s
horn. That is red ochre. Teach the baby to
cry for red ochre, and his father will get it for
him to quiet him. So Bootupskw taught the
baby to
cry:
"Weukujuhl Weukujuh! Bed ochre, red
ochre."
That night, when Bootup came home, the baby
kept crying :
"Weukujuh! Weukujuh!"
"What can he want of red ochre?" the father
asked. But as the baby continued crying
"Weukujuh," Bootup at length said:
"Baby, baby, only stop the cry and I will get
it for you to-morrow. Then the baby stopped
crying, and the next day Bootup went to the
shore. Soon he was a whale, rushing through
the waters in search of red ochre.
After a few days Bootup s sister said:
"Now we must teach baby to cry for the
crimson cloud in the sunset. This is so far
away that while Bootup has gone to get it, we
can make our escape to your brother."
So one night, when Bootup came home, the
baby met him with a cry for the crimson cloud
in the sunset.
