201 friend Manibojou was getting low in his stack of "Agising" and had to go and look for more. Being Jealous of his neighbor he watched him very closely and noticed everything MaJikimis would fetch to eat and when he saw his friend having so much fish he became very angry and went to visit him. MaJikimis" he said where did you get so much fish. Ha! said "Majikimis" I caught them very easy all I had to do was to get a long line of Bars [?] bark and go under the ice and string on all I found. and pull them out.

Go yourself said "Manibojou" MaJikimis did not say that said the voice which was that of some Great Manito. When Manibojou heard MaJikimis name mentioned he suspected some trick. and went over and built a nice large fire. took off his Meccesins and warmed his feet. When the Manito dripped the fat sides of a Bear, and of a Moose, these said the Manito are my foot wear. Manibojou reached for the meat "ho ho." he said these are my [?nips?]. these are the ones No said the Manito. your nips would not be so good as these.
