Many
a
good
meal
I
got
in
this
fashion
,
while
he
scolded
and
chattered
vainly
at
me
.
I
could
not
understand
.
I
kept
very
alert
,
but
I
could
see
no
danger
.
I
calculated
always
the
distance
between
myself
and
the
nearest
tree
,
and
knew
that
to
that
haven
of
refuge
I
could
out
-
foot
the
Tawny
One
,
or
old
Saber
-
Tooth
,
did
one
or
the
other
suddenly
appear
.
182
One
late
afternoon
,
in
the
village
,
a
great
uproar
arose
.
The
horde
was
animated
with
a
single
emotion
,
that
of
fear
.
The
bluff
-
side
swarmed
with
the
Folk
,
all
gazing
and
pointing
into
the
northeast
.
I
did
not
know
what
it
was
,
but
I
scrambled
all
the
way
up
to
the
safety
of
my
own
high
little
cave
before
ever
I
turned
around
to
see
.
183
And
then
,
across
the
river
,
away
into
the
northeast
,
I
saw
for
the
first
time
the
mystery
of
smoke
.
It
was
the
biggest
animal
I
had
ever
seen

I
thought
it
was
a
monster
snake
,
up
-
ended
,
rearing
its
head
high
above
the
trees
and
swaying
back
and
forth
.
And
yet
,
somehow
,
I
seemed
to
gather
from
the
conduct
of
the
Folk
that
the
smoke
itself
was
not
the
danger
.
They
appeared
to
fear
it
as
the
token
of
something
else
.
What
this
something
else
was
I
was
unable
to
guess
.
Nor
could
they
tell
me
.
Yet
I
was
soon
to
know
,
and
I
was
to
know
it
as
a
thing
more
terrible
than
the
Tawny
One
,
than
old
Saber
-
Tooth
,
than
the
snakes
themselves
,
than
which
it
seemed
there
could
be
no
things
more
terrible
.
185
Broken
-
Tooth
was
another
youngster
who
lived
by
himself
.
His
mother
lived
in
the
caves
,
but
two
more
children
had
come
after
him
and
he
had
been
thrust
out
to
shift
for
himself
.
We
had
witnessed
the
performance
during
the
several
preceding
days
,
and
it
had
given
us
no
little
glee
.
Broken
-
Tooth
did
not
want
to
go
,
and
every
time
his
mother
left
the
cave
he
sneaked
back
into
it
.
When
she
returned
and
found
him
there
her
rages
were
delightful
.
Half
the
horde
made
a
practice
of
watching
for
these
moments
.
First
,
from
within
the
cave
,
would
come
her
scolding
and
shrieking
.
Then
we
could
hear
sounds
of
the
thrashing
and
the
yelling
of
Broken
-
Tooth
.
About
this
time
the
two
younger
children
joined
in
.
And
finally
,
like
the
eruption
of
a
miniature
volcano
,
Broken
-
Tooth
would
come
flying
out
.
186
At
the
end
of
several
days
his
leaving
home
was
accomplished
.
He
wailed
his
grief
,
unheeded
,
from
the
centre
of
the
open
space
,
for
at
least
half
an
hour
,
and
then
came
to
live
with
Lop
-
Ear
and
me
.
Our
cave
was
small
,
but
with
squeezing
there
was
room
for
three
.
I
have
no
recollection
of
Broken
-
Tooth
spending
more
than
one
night
with
us
,
so
the
accident
must
have
happened
right
away
.
187
It
came
in
the
middle
of
the
day
.
In
the
morning
we
had
eaten
our
fill
of
the
carrots
,
and
then
,
made
heedless
by
play
,
we
had
ventured
on
to
the
big
trees
just
beyond
.
I
cannot
understand
how
Lop
-
Ear
got
over
his
habitual
caution
,
but
it
must
have
been
the
play
.
We
were
having
a
great
time
playing
tree
tag
.
And
such
tag
!
We
leaped
ten
or
fifteen
-
foot
gaps
as
a
matter
of
course
.

And
a
twenty
or
twenty
-
five
foot
deliberate
drop
clear
down
to
the
ground
was
nothing
to
us
.
In
fact
,
I
am
almost
afraid
to
say
the
great
distances
we
dropped
.
As
we
grew
older
and
heavier
we
found
we
had
to
be
more
cautious
in
dropping
,
but
at
that
age
our
bodies
were
all
strings
and
springs
and
we
could
do
anything
.
189
Broken
-
Tooth
displayed
remarkable
agility
in
the
game
.
He
was
It
less
frequently
than
any
of
us
,
and
in
the
course
of
the
game
he
discovered
one
difficult
slip
that
neither
Lop
-
Ear
nor
I
was
able
to
accomplish
.
To
be
truthful
,
we
were
afraid
to
attempt
it
.
190
When
we
were
It
,
Broken
-
Tooth
always
ran
out
to
the
end
of
a
lofty
branch
in
a
certain
tree
.
From
the
end
of
the
branch
to
the
ground
it
must
have
been
seventy
feet
,
and
nothing
intervened
to
break
a
fall
.
But
about
twenty
feet
lower
down
,
and
fully
fifteen
feet
out
from
the
perpendicular
,
was
the
thick
branch
of
another
tree
.
