We must make the best of a bad job.' He sat down and took out a little leather mendy-bag, full of reindeer-sinews
and strips of leather, and lumps of bee's-wax and resin, and began to mend the spear. Taffy sat down too, with her
toes in the water and her chin in her hand, and thought very hard. Then she said - 'I say, Daddy, it's an awful
nuisance that you and I don't know how to write, isn't it? If we did, we could send a message for the new spear.'Just
then a Stranger-man came along the river, but he belonged to a far tribe, the Tewaras, and he did not understand one
word of Tegumai's language. He stood on the bank and smiled at Taffy, because he had a little girl-daughter of his
own at home. Tegumai drew a hank of deer-sinews from his mendy-bag and began to mend his spear. "Come here",
said Taffy.
