DescriptionA man is hunting and has to spend the night in the forest. He is approached by a spirit at night, who demands his flesh to eat. He passes out pieces of game; then tells the spirit that it is his turn to eat the spirit's flesh, resulting in the spirit's death as he tries to cut pieces of himself. Later the spirit revives and helps the man become a great hunter.
