A number of men went a long distance into the country and encamped. While they were hunting about some of them discovered an hatcūkliba (a monster lizard). 1 One of them said, "I am going to have a race with him." He relied upon a very potent "word" which he had. So he tied some white buckskin strings about his legs just below the knee, placed a white feather on his head, and put on a white shirt. Then he said, "Now go and show me the place where he lives." They guided him to the spot and then stood back while he went up close to it. He called out, "Hatcūkliba, come out and let us race," whereupon the big lizard came out of his den and started after him. As the man ran he shouted "Kaihgā', Kaihgā'." He ran across a prairie, keeping just ahead of the animal until they were out of sight.
