61. Wren and the Cannibal Eagle.
(Nkamtci'nEmux.)
(cont.)

 Finally he perched on top of him; and Wren, seeing his chance, killed Eagle from underneath with his knife, and killed him. He pulled out the tail-feathers, and scattered the remains of the Eagle. Throwing them towards the mountains, he said, “Henceforth eagles shall be only ordinary birds, and shall prey on small game. They shall not kill people any more, and men will use their tail-feathers for decorative purposes.” The cliff is still marked with red and white streaks where the paint ran from Wren’s mouth.
