Sendeh was going along. He puts someone who he had never seen before.
They both stopped, and Sendeh greeted him. He said, "I don't
know you, but I think I have heard of you. You are the man who cheats
everybody. Sendeh answered, "Yes, I am he who cheats,
but I have left my Medicine at home, about four hills away. Self
cannot cheat you. The man said, “That makes no difference.
If you are the one who cheats, you can cheat me without your Medicine. »
I cannot cheat you without my Medicine, I wish I had it, I would
cheat you. Sendeh said to the soldier, "If you want me
to cheat you, loan me your horse and I will go and get my Medicine
and come back and cheat you. So the soldier said, “All
right, I will loan you my horse, but you must come right back with
your Medicine. So Sendeh got on the horse. As he rode off
he secretly punched him so he balked. Sendeh said, “This horse
won't go. Maybe he is afraid of me. Loan me your hat. »
The soldier gave him the hat. Sendeh punched him again, the horse balked.
“This horse is afraid of me. Lend me your coat. » Sendeh
got on the horse. He punched him secretly again and turned back
and told the soldier he might as well let him have his blanket.
“I think it would be well to give me your quirt. » « All
right, here is the quirt, too. Make haste, get your Medicine and
come back and show me you can cheat me. The horse went forward.
Sendeh looked back and said, “Soldier, I have already cheated
you. I have all your things. I have no Medicine. Now you go on your
way, and I will go mine. »
