Excerpt from Kaska Tales Beaver went on, and came to a bluff overlooking a deep creek. He heard a dog barking below the cliff. He listened, and approached cautiously. Presently he saw a man on the top of the cliff, and went to him. This was sheep-man, who killed people by pushing them over the cliff. His Wife attracted them by barking like a dog, and any who were not killed outright by the fall were clubbed by her at the bottom of the cliff. When Beaver reached sheep-man, the latter said, Look at the sheep down below! Beaver said, You look first, you saw them first. They quarrelled as to who should look over the brink first. At last sheep-man looked, and Beaver at once pushed him over. He was killed by the fall.2 When sheep-man's wife heard the thud of something falling at the base of the cliff, she ran out quickly, and began to club the man before she noticed that it was her own husband. She then looked up and saw Beaver, who threw a rock at her head and killed her. This is why the head of the mountain-sheep is so small between the horns; and the tongues of sheep are black because they once ate men.
