Chapter one
Tragity

"You're as tall as a mountain,
as fair as the garden of roses,
as strong as a buffalo,
as wise as the wisest owl,
and I love you."

Akare sang to her little sister, Sunsa. Daliki, the cheif, came in through the wide deer hide flap. " Selima has been murdured! " He declared. Akare and Sunsa ran out of their teepe
and into the corn field. Their eyes filled with tears as they gathered in the scene. Selima lay on the dirt, as blood dripped from her neck. Her eyes were open, and flies buzzed around her.
Her hair was no longer brown, it was thick with dark oozing blood. Her neck had a deep, deep, gash in it. Her body was still warm. " Oh no! What have I done?! I sent the poor girl out to
gather corn and this is what happens! " Akare yelled. She kicked the dirt. Then she dent down, and said " Takalia mosstare frenaster doonkar bersten dou. " ( May your soul go to heaven )
then she kissed her forehead. " Restane miys poula. " ( Rest in peace )
