Handwritten note cites James Owen Dorsey, 'The Ȼegiha Language' in 'Contributions to North American Ethnology,' Vol. 6, p. 215: Husband commands pregnant wife never to look at visiting stranger. On the fourth day she peeks and sees Two-Faces and dies. Two-Faces cuts her open and takes out twins. Throws one into crack of log on his way home. Thrown Away visits Lodge Boy and eats roasting meat. On the fourth day he tells his father, who transforms himself into dried buffalo neck to watch. [Father eventually tells boys they are twins.] Lists four incidents: (1) When the boys cut off rattlesnakes' tails, father makes them return the tails to the snakes. (2) Burr Woman [sticks to boys]. They tickle her in vain [to make her fall off], then hit her with a stone hammer in the small of her back. (3) Thunderbird and Magic Tree - Thrown Away (elder brother), climbs a tree and throws down the birds, asking their names. When the last bird is down, the tree shoots up in height. Younger brother hits tree with a hammer and it is restored to original size. The birds fill the tent with lightning. Father returns. (4) Tie lizards' tails together. Notes in margin reference variants, Pitheus [Pittheus?], and 'Thrown Away always urging[?] Lodge Boy.' Undated.
