to a pit. When you commanded
them to get him, they drew back through fear. I am he who went to get
him when you offered your daughter as a reward," said the young man.
"I have hardly been able to come again to the surface."

Then they recognized him. The two men stood talking together on the
large hill. The chief's son looked back from the camp.

"Why! The chief and his wife have come as far as the large hill and a
man on horseback has come, too. He stands talking to them. I will go
thither. Let me see! I will go to see them."

He went back on horseback and came to his father.

"With what person do you talk?" said the son.

"Why! He who went to get your elder brother has come back!" said the
head chief.

They shook hands. And the head chief gave his daughter to the young
man.

"Let all the men and chiefs assemble. Let all the stout-hearted young
men assemble. They can look at my daughter's husband," he said.

They assembled. They came to see the young man and brought the things

the head chief.

"Make ye a tent for him in the center," said the old chief.

They set up a tent for him in the center. They finished it.

"The people did not eat. As they sat waiting for you to appear, the
nation did not eat. You came back when they were just removing camp,"
said the old chief.

"Ho!" said the one who had just reached home. "Let two old men go as
criers."

So the criers shouted: "The chiefs daughter's husband says that you
will rest tomorrow. He says you will not go in any direction
whatever."

The next day he commanded those who had come back on horseback to act
as scouts. And the scouts came back very soon; because by means of the
iron rod which he had asked of his father, he made a great many
buffaloes very quickly. He spoke of surrounding them. They shot down
many of the buffaloes. He went to take part in surrounding them.

His wife said, "I desire to go to see them surround the herd. I must
go to see the buffaloes. W
