CHARACTERS / Tcoitcak A Bird (English name unknown) / Tcûskai Weasel / Tskel Mink
Once Tcoitcak was going along near the house where two brothers, Tcûskai and Tskel, lived. He was carrying a big pack on his back. Tcûskai liked to stay outside the house looking around. Tskel scolded him for not staying at home, so when he went away he always left his tail hanging down inside the smoke hole and left his voice with his tail. He said: "If Tskel calls me, you must answer: ‘I am here'!"
