All day long, and often far into the night, these two sat on a near-by hill and wailed, and their mourning was sad. For many days he went on. He crossed great prairies and followed up timbered rivers, and crossed the mountains. Every day his sack of food grew lighter, but as he went along he looked for berries and roots, and sometimes he killed an animal. These things gave him food.
