One early-morning in 12th month, there was this mail-delivery-person [postman] making his rounds in his car-- while he was stopped waiting at a traffic light, a person fell down in front of him there in the street; this happened while the postman was heading to the town square.-- He [apparently the one who fell, but ???] had a flute, and one could hear the cries of a _kusimi*_ apparently in distress.-- The kusimi just sat, not moving at all, even when he tried to win over the kusimi's trust. -- The postman made playful motions, offered a bit of food, finally he reconsidered the matter and went back to his car.-- But that damned kusimi still wasn't satisfied, he leapt out of the tree onto the top of his umbrella (for it was sleeting)-- He wielded his umbrella to defend himself as best he could, but the kusimi held fast-- and so the postman retreated to his car and went home.-- All day long he was bothered because of the kusimi's whining.

*kusimi: a small semi-tame cat-like animal native to Cindu; Gwr has borrowed the Kash word.
