angry. "I 'll punish you well for wasting my red paint," she cried. "I 'll teach you not to play with such things."
As she came nearer, she saw that her children were dead. She dropped her basket and wailed, "Oh! the children of Old Deer have punished me."
Then she cried, "Oh, children, where are you?"
She went into the lodge and asked, "Fireplace, which way did Old Deer's children go?" The fireplace was silent.
She questioned each article in the lodge, but received no answer until she came to the bone awl. It said, "The children of Old Deer went to the east."
Old Grizzly started after them. As the evening star climbed up the sky, she came to a cave blockaded with stones. She knew the young deer were in it. She called out loud: "To-morrow when it is light, I shall play a game with you children. Then I shall be able to see."
The older child was awakened. It shook the younger and whispered: "She has overtaken us. We must plan what to do."
They watched Old Grizzly build a fire and lie down beside it. After a while she snored. The deer children threw little sticks near her. She did not stir. They threw larger sticks. She did not stir. They threw small stones and large stones.
