It would work beautifully.,Before his spirit started for the Sand Hills he saw that with a large knife she cut up his body and put the pieces into a pot. Soon they were well cooked and the old woman and the two bears feasted on his flesh.,"Why, what is the matter?" he says, seeing signs of the lively storm on all their faces.
