    come to the same houses every day (G) gathering food.
    One day a girl of the same family was left to watch a cow that was going to calve and not let the calve die. She was sitting in byer and at last she fell asleep. The cow calved and the little calve fell into sink and died. When the girl awoke the calve was dead and she did not know what to do. She left the house and never was seen after that.
