Ikto once stood on the bank of a stream across which he could not swim. He stood on the bank and thought. Then he sang:
I stand,
Thinking often,
Oh, that I might reach the other side.
Just then a long Something passed, swimming against the current. When it reached Ikto, it said,
" I will take you across, but you must not lift your head above the water. Should you notice even a small cloud, warn me at once, as I must go under the water. If you see a small cloud, you must say, " Younger brother, your grandfather is coming."
Before the other bank was reached, Ikto looked up. He saw a small cloud and said, " Younger brother, your grandfather is coming."
There was a sudden commotion. When Ikto became conscious again, the Thunder Beings were roaring, and the water was dashing high, but the monster had vanished
