چکیده
A YOUNG MAN TROUBLED BY DISTURBING DREAMS is led out of the village by an old man, who carries a rattle, a drum, and a blanket. They walk for two days and climb to the top of the “spirit” mountain.

As he departs, he tells the youth, “When the spirits come for you, you will die. When you come back to life, then you may come back and live with us again.”
