During the next day Coyote killed the frog and dressed himself in its clothes. Then at night he went into the mat house and attended to the light of the moon. All the dead people came again to the mat house. They began singing and dancing in a happy way. Suddenly Coyote swallowed the moon, and the mat house was in darkness. The spirit people began groping about. Coyote and Eagle picked them up and put them into the grass basket which they had brought from home. Then they shut the basket tight and started back to the Land of the Living.
Coyote carried the basket. After traveling a long while he heard a noise inside it. He pricked up his ears. "Brother Eagle," he said, "the people are beginning to come to life again."
Soon they heard different voices from the basket crying out, "I 'm being bumped; I want to get out; I want to get out."
The basket was becoming very heavy. The nearer they came to the Land of the Living, the more alive the people became. They weighed nothing when they were spirits, but were heavy when they became alive. Coyote began to get tired carrying them. He said to Eagle, "Why not let them out as long as they wish to come?"
"No," answered Eagle; "let 's get them home."
