One day Raven came upon a great whale blowing along out at sea. And Raven saw that every time the whale came up his mouth was wide open. So Raven took his knife and something with which to make fire and when the whale came up he flew into his mouth and sat down at the further end of its stomach. When the whale came up it opened its mouth and herring and other fish came pouring in. Raven ate all of these things and then he made a fire and cooked the fat of the whale itself. Last of all he ate the heart of the whale and when he did this the whale died.
