"One day in the fall when the leaves were yellow, and the Deer-people were dressed in their blue robes when the Geese and Duck-people were travelling to the country where water does not freeze, and where flowers never die, OLD-man was travelling on the plains. "Near sundown he saw two Buffalo-Bulls feeding on a steep hillside; but he had no bow and arrow with him.
"That was a short story, but to-morrow night I will tell you why the Deer-people have no gall on their livers; and why the Antelope-people do not wear dew-claws, for you should know that there are no other animals with cloven hoofs that are like them in this. "I am tired to-night, and I will ask that you go to your lodges, that I may sleep, for I am getting old. Ho!"
The Elk-people and the Deer-people saw him pass, and all said that he must be up to some mischief or he would stop and talk a while. The pine-trees murmured, and the bushes whispered their greeting, but he kept his eyes straight ahead and went on travelling. OLD-man knelt beside the man and asked: 'Is there war in this country? "'Yes, answered the man.
