| Then it asked for some more | Q |
| - | |
| So the men shook the tree | P |

| While the head was getting the fruit | N |
| the men got down from the tree and went on | S |

| All the huts were closed tight | W |
| When it got there the head commanded them to open the doors | X |

| So the head started to think what it would turn into | Z |
| If it turned into water they would drink it | B |
| If it turned into earth they would walk on it | B |
| If it turned into a house they would live in it | B |
| If it turned into a steer they would kill it and eat it | B |
| If it turned into a cow they would milk it | B |
| If it turned into a bean they would cook it | B |
| If it turned into the sun | A2 |
| When men were cold it would heat them | M |
| If it turned into rain the grass would grow and the | B2 |
| animals would crop it | B |

| They would not open them | M |
| - | |

| my two balls of twine | E2 |
| They threw out the two balls of twine through a hole | F2 |
| It took them and threw them into the sky | G2 |
| - | |
| It asked them to throw it a little stick too | Z |
| to roll the thread around so it could climb up | H2 |
| - | |
| Then it said I can climb I am going to the sky | G2 |
| It started to climb | I2 |
| - | |
| The men opened the doors right away | L |
| The head went on climbing | U |
| The men shouted You going to the sky head | I |
| It didn't answer | G |
| - | |
| As soon as it got to the Sun | A2 |
| it turned into the Moon | C2 |
| Toward evening the Moon was white it was beautiful | J2 |
| And the men were surprised | K2 |
| to see that the head had turned into the Moon | C2 |
