“Iya Hokshi”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Once there were five brothers and a sister. The brothers went deep into the forest to hunt but one by one they did not come back. The sister wanted to commit suicide, but did not know how to. So she picked up a pebble and swallowed it. Four days passed, and the sister felt pain. She thought death was coming, but she didn't mind. Instead of dying, she gave birth to a boy as strong as a rock. She named him Iya Hokshi, or Stone Boy. He grew ten times as fast as most babies did, and by a week he had made a bow and arrows all by himself. He was grown up fast and

went out to hunt. But before he left, his mother wept. Iya Hokshi comforted her and told her that he was going to avenge his five uncles. He went deep into the forest until he saw a hut. He was exhausted and went in to sleep. He saw five bundles propped against the wall and an old woman sitting by the fire. She showed great hospitality and fixed some meat for him. She then explained that she had a terrible back-ache and asked if he could jump on it gently. Iya Hokshi saw a dagger in her shirt and suspected that she killed his brothers. So he jumped up and down on the witch's back and she fell down dead with a broken back. He then made a hut and came back to the hut in the forest to get the bundles back. Once inside his hut he received instructions from the rocks. Once he passed them through the fire they became alive. And the brothers worshipped Tunka until they died.
