Then he ran to the woman . ` Look , what a figure I am ! ' he said ; but she only told him to climb the tree , as she had told Pivi . But Kabo climbed with both hands and feet , and he threw down the nuts , instead of carrying them down , and he put them in the hut . And when he went back for them there he found two horrid old black hags , wrangling , and scolding , and scratching ! So back he went to Pivi with his two beautiful wives , and Pivi was very sorry , but what could he do ? Nothing , but sit and cry . So , one day , Kabo came and asked Pivi to sail in his canoe to a place where he knew of a great big shell-fish , enough to feed on for a week . Pivi went , and deep in the clear water they saw a monstrous shell-fish , like an oyster , as big as a rock , with the shell wide open . ` We shall catch it , and dry it , and kipper it , ' said Pivi , ` and give a dinner to all our friends ! ' ' I shall dive for it , and break it off the rock , ' said Kabo , ` and then you must help me to drag it up into the canoe . ' There the shell-fish lay and gaped , but Kabo , though he dived in , kept well out of the way of the beast . Up he came , puffing and blowing : ` Oh , Pivi , ' he cried , ' I can not move it . Jump in and try yourself ! ' Pivi dived , with his spear , and the shell-fish opened its shell wider yet , and sucked , and Pivi disappeared into its mouth , and the shell shut up with a snap ! Kabo laughed like a fiend , and then went home . ` Where is Pivi ? ' asked the two pretty girls . Kabo pretended to cry , and told how Pivi had been swallowed . ` But dry your tears , my darlings , ' said Kabo , ' I will be your husband , and my wives shall be your slaves .
Everything is XXXXX the best , in the best of all possible worlds . '
