There were a young man, his wife, and<br \/>his brother. They set out by themselves to look for game. This young<br \/>man would leave his younger brother and his wife in camp and go<br \/>out to look for game. Every time his brother would leave, the boy<br \/>would go to a high hill nearby and sit there all day until his brother<br \/>returned.\u00a0<\/p><p>One time before the boy went as usual to the hill, his<br \/>sister-in-law said, \u201cWhy are you so lonesome? \u00bb Let us<br \/>be sweethearts. \u201cThe boy answered, \u201cNo, I love my brother<br \/>and I would not want to do that. She said, \u201cYour brother<br \/>would not know. Only you and I would know. He would not find out. \u00bb<br \/>\u201cNo, I think a great deal of my brother. I would not want to do that. \u00bb<\/p><p>One night as they all went to sleep the young woman went to where<br \/>the boy used to sit on the hill. She began to dig. She dug a hole<br \/>deep enough so that no one would ever hear him. She covered it by<br \/>placing a hide over the hole, and she made it look so natural so<br \/>nobody would notice it. She went back to the camp and laid down.<br \/>Next day the older brother went hunting and the younger brother<br \/>went to where he used to sit.\u00a0<\/p><p>The young woman watched him and saw<br \/>him drop out of sight. She went up the hill and looked into the<br \/>pit and said, \u201cI guess you want to make love now. If you are<br \/>willing to be my sweetheart I will let you out. If not, you will<br \/>have to stay in there until you die. The boy said, &quot;I<br \/>will not. \u201cAfter the young man returned home, he asked his<br \/>wife where his little brother was. She said, \u201cI have not seen<br \/>him since you left, but he went up on the hill. \u00bb<\/p><p>That night as they went to bed the young man said to his wife that<br \/>he thought he heard a voice somewhere. She said, \u201cIt is only<br \/>the Wolves that you hear. \u00bb The young man did not sleep all<br \/>night. He said to his wife, \u201cYou must have sold him to make<br \/>him go; he may have gone back home. \u00bb I did not say anything<br \/>to him.\u00a0<\/p><p>Every day when you go hunting he goes to that hill. \u00bb<br \/>Next day they broke camp and went back to the main camp to see if<br \/>he was there. He was not there. They concluded that he had died.<br \/>His father and mother cried over him.<\/p><p>The boy staying in the pit was crying; he was starving. He looked<br \/>up and saw something. A Wolf was pulling off the old hide. The Wolf<br \/>said, \u201cWhy are you down there? \u00bb The boy told him what<br \/>happened, that the woman caused him to be in there. The Wolf said,<br \/>\u201cI will get you out. If I get you out, you will be my son. \u00bb<br \/>He heard the Wolf howling.\u00a0<\/p><p>When he looked up again, there was a<br \/>pack of Wolves. They started to dig in the side of the pit until<br \/>they reached him and he could crawl out. It was very cold. as night<br \/>came on, the Wolves lay all around him and on top of him to keep him warm.<\/p><p>Next morning the Wolves asked what he ate. He said that he ate<br \/>meat. So the Wolves went out and found Buffalo and killed a calf<br \/>and brought it to him. The boy had nothing to butcher it with, so<br \/>the Wolf tore the calf to pieces for the boy to get out what he<br \/>wanted. The boy ate till he was full.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Wolf who got him out asked<br \/>the others if they knew where there was a flint knife. One said<br \/>that he had seen one somewhere. He told him to get it. After that,<br \/>when the Wolves killed for him he would butcher it himself.<\/p><p>Some time after that, a man from the camp was out hunting, and<br \/>he observed a pack of Wolves and among them a man. He rode up to<br \/>see if he could recognize this man. He got near enough only to see<br \/>that it was a man. He returned to camp and told the people had<br \/>seen a man with some Wolves.\u00a0<\/p><p>They considered that it might be the<br \/>young man who had been lost some time before. The camp had killed<br \/>off all the Buffalo. Some young men after butchering had left to<br \/>kill Wolves (as they did after killing Buffalo). They noticed a<br \/>young man with a pack of Wolves. The Wolves saw the men, and they<br \/>ran off. The young man ran off with them.<\/p><p>Next day the whole camp went out to see who the young man was.<br \/>The saw the Wolves and the young man with them. They pursued the<br \/>young man. They overtook him and caught him. He bit them like a<br \/>Wolf. After they caught him, they heard the Wolves howling in the<br \/>distance. The young man told his father and brother to free him<br \/>so he could hear what the Wolves were saying. They said if they<br \/>loosened him, he would not come back. However they loosened him<br \/>and he went out and met the Wolves. Then he returned to camp.<\/p><p>\u201cHow did you come to be among them? \u00bb asked the father<br \/>and brother. He told how his sister-in-law had dug the hole, and<br \/>he fell in, and the Wolves had gotten him out, and he had lived<br \/>with them ever since.<\/p><p>The Wolf had aided him that someone must come in his place, that<br \/>they were to wind Buffalo gut around the young woman and send her.<br \/>The young woman&#039;s father and mother found out what she had done<br \/>to the boy. They said to her husband that she had done wrong and<br \/>for him to do as the Wolf had directed and take her to him and let<br \/>him eat her up. So the husband of the young woman took her and wound<br \/>the guts around her and led her to where the Wolf had directed.<\/p><p>The whole camp went to see, and the Wolf Boy said, &quot;Let me<br \/>take her to my father Wolf. Then he took her and stopped at<br \/>a distance and howled like a Wolf, and they saw the Wolves coming<br \/>from everywhere. He said to his Wolf father, \u201cHere is the one<br \/>you were to have in my place. The Wolves came and tore her up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kiowa-Comanche Mythology Wiki The Kiowas are a Native American nation that lived primarily on the plains of western Texas, Oklahoma... <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3983,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22285","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22285"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22290,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22285\/revisions\/22290"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
