said to Kunigseq:

"When you return to earth, send us some ice, for we thirst for cold
water down here."

After that, Kunigseq went back to earth, but it is said that his son
fell sick soon afterwards, and died. And then Kunigseq did not care to
live any longer, having seen what it was like in the underworld. So he
rowed out in his kayak, and caught a guillemot, and a little after,
he caught a raven, and having eaten these one after the other, he
died. And then they threw him out into the sea.

THE WOMAN WHO HAD A BEAR AS A FOSTER-SON

There was once an old woman living in a place where others lived. She
lived nearest the shore, and when those who lived in houses up above
had been out hunting, they gave her both meat and blubber.

And once they were out hunting as usual, and now and again they got
a bear, so that they frequently ate bear's meat. And they came home
with a whole bear. The old woman received a piece from the ribs as
her share, and took it home to her house. After she had come home to
her house, the wife of the man who had killed the bear came to the
window and said:

"Dear little old woman in there, would you like to have a bear's cub?"

And the old woman went and fetched it, and brought it into her house,
shifted her lamp, and placed the cub, because it was frozen, up on
to the drying frame to thaw. Suddenly she noticed that it moved a
little, and took it down to warm it. Then she roasted some blubber,
for she had heard that bears lived on blubber, and in this way she
fed it from that time onwards, giving it greaves to eat and melted
blubber to drink, and it lay beside her at night.

And after it had begun to lie beside her at night it grew very fast,
and she began to talk to it in human speech, and thus it gained the
mind of a human being, and when it wished to ask its foster-mother
for food, it would sniff.

The old woman now no longer suffered want, and those living near
brought her food for the cub. The children came sometimes to play
with it, but then the old woman would say:

"Little bear, remember to sheathe your claws when you play with them."

In the morning, the children would come to the window and call in:

"Little bear, come out and play with us, for now we are going to play."

And when they went out to play together, it would break the children's
toy harpoons to pieces, but whenever it wanted to give any one of
the children a push, it would always sheathe its claws
