The people asked,

“Did you find him?”

“Yes, but we forgot something.

Tobacco.”

But there was no tobacco

so Fly and Hummingbird had to fly

all the way back down

to the fourth world below

to ask our Mother where

they could get some tobacco.

“We came back again,”

they told our Mother.

“Maybe you need something?”

“Tobacco.”

“Go ask caterpillar.”

So they flew

all the way up again.

They went to a place in the West.

See, these things were complicated.….

They called outside his house

“You downstairs, how are things?”

“Okay,” he said, “come down.”

They went down inside.

“Maybe you want something?”

“Yes. We need tobacco.”

Caterpillar spread out

dry cornhusks on the floor.

He rubbed his hands together

and tobacco fell into the cornhusks.

Then he folded up the husks

and gave the tobacco to them.
