Question

Back when animals reigned in the earth, they had killed all the people but a girl and her
little brother, and these two were living in fear, in an out-of-the-way place. The boy was
a perfect little pygmy, and never grew beyond the size of a mere infant; but the girl
increased with her years, so that the task of providing food and shelter fell wholly upon
her. She went out daily to get wood for the lodge-fire, and she took her little brother
with her, so that no mishap might befall him; for he was too little to leave alone. A big
bird, of a mischievous nature might have flown away with him. His sister made him a
bow and arrows, and said to him one day, “My little brother, I will leave you behind
where I have been gathering the wood; you must hide yourself, and you will soon see
the snow-birds come and pick the worms out of the logs which I have piled up. Shoot
one of them and bring it home.” He obeyed her, and tried his best to kill one, but he
came home unsuccessful. His sister told him that he must not despair, but try again the
next day. She accordingly left him at the gathering-place of the wood, and returned to
the lodge. Towards night-fall she heard his little footsteps crackling through the snow,
and he hurried in and threw down, with an air of triumph, one of the birds which he had
killed. “My sister," said he, "I wish you to skin it, and stretch the skin, and when I have
killed more, I will have a coat made out of them.” “But what shall we do with the
body?” said she; for they had always up to that time lived upon greens and berries. "Cut
it in two,” he answered, "and season our soup with one half of it at a time.” It was their
first dish of game, and they relished it greatly.​
