Soon the young woman came back and said to her husband, "It is a girl baby. You are to have another wife." "How strange!" says Mona. "But how then did you manage?"

Talking Rock was an orphan without a single relation and Red Robe had only his old grandmother. Then Fisher said to the people, "Pack up your things now and get ready to cross.

When he came to where this clot of blood was lying on the ground, he stumbled and fell and spilled his arrows out of his quiver, and while he was picking them up he picked up also the clot of blood and hid it in his quiver.
