He smelled the meat, and put his great rough head in at the door and sniffed. "Bear!" shouted Strongarm, jumping to his feet. Burr and the boys cried out and quickly ran away to hide. Strongarm snatched a blazing log and struck the bear. He was burned and hurt, and he grew angry. He stood up on his hind legs and growled and showed his sharp teeth.
And they gave a piece to Thorn because he had found the mired mammoth. Strongarm looked at him proudly then, and the boy stood straight and tall and held his head high. A man standing near him snatched for the piece of tusk, but Strongarm shouted, "Get off!" and scowled and shook his fist. The man grew angry and raised his stone ax.
It began to rain, and they all sat under a tree until the rain had passed. When Strongarm came back from the hunt, he found the cave cold and dark and wet. A stream of water was running down through the smoke-hole. It had put out the fire. The ashes, too, were wet; and there were no coals from which to start the fire again. He looked at the black fire-place.
Then to keep up his heart he sang in a loud gruff voice: "O why did the water put out the fire? O why did the water put out the fire?" Strongarm gave a loud call as he came up to Hickory's cave. The old man came to the door and asked what the trouble was. "Trouble enough," growled Strongarm. "My fire is out. I came for coals." Old Hickory gave a great roaring laugh.
