==== Big Water Creature and the Great Flood ====
But a mother and her two daughters had been in the fields and had not seen the raft.  Now it was dark, and they saw that all of the women had crossed the river to the men's side.  They began to swim across.  But {{spell-nv|Tééhoołtsódii}}, Big Water Creature, grabbed the two daughters and dragged them to her home under the water.  For three days and three nights, the people searched the river for the girls, but they could not find them.

On the morning of the fourth day, Talking God and Water Sprinkler appeared with a large bowl of white shell and a large bowl of blue shell.  The people gathered around them.  They placed the bowls at the water's edge, and started to spin them.  The spinning bowls created an opening in the water which led downward to a large house with four rooms.  First Man and First Woman traveled down the passage and into the house, and behind them crept the Coyote named First Angry.  In the north room of the house, they found Big Water Creature asleep in a chair.  Her own two children were there, and also the two missing daughters.  First Man and First Woman took the hands of the girls and led them back through the passage and on to the bank.  Behind them, Coyote carried the two children of Big Water Creature, wrapped in his big skin coat with white fur lining.<ref>According to Hastiin Tlo'tsi Hee (p. 8), First Woman asked the Coyote known as First Angry to steal the children of Big Water Creature</ref>  There was great celebrating because the lost girls were returned.

The next morning, animals began running past the village from the east.  Deer ran by, and turkeys, and antelopes, and squirrels.  For three days, animals ran past, fleeing from something.  On the morning of the fourth day, the people sent locusts flying to the east to find out what was happening.  The locusts returned and told that a great wall of water was coming from the east, and a tide of water from the north and from the south.  The people ran to the top of the mountain {{spell-nv|Sisnaajiní}}.  First Man ran to each of the other Sacred Mountains, took dirt from each, and summoned the Holy People, and returned to {{spell-nv|Sisnaajiní}}. Turquoise Boy came bearing the great Male Reed, and First Man planted it in the top of the mountain.  All the people began to blow on the reed, and it began to grow and grow until it reached the canopy of the sky.  Woodpecker hollowed out a passage inside the reed, and the people and Turquoise Boy and the four Holy People all began to climb up until they came out in the Fourth World.
