'Little Bear earned the Wampum to the Play-Store and paid for the maple-sugar, he had "hooked." Like all littld
. I , ' bears (sad MOSmittl BOYS) he then asked for "Shum-ehe-nuh" a small present for paying what h owed. Although he
I didnt dasery it Little Growling Bird was kind enough to give him a funny Jumping-Jack to encourage him to be honest.
. I - Now, Nokomis had put the glass beads in Aundak'a drinking pan, which he took in his beak and carried toward the Play-.
- Store; but. before he quit got there, he stopped to look over and admire them. They looked so smooth and bright, be thought
s -: h would be a pity to pay them ALL out for a tingle ear el corn. "Ill pay HALF and keep HALF! Thafa fair enough I! he

After TUmdak had reckoned up to FIFTEEN be lost count and. of couraa, had to begin all over a rain! And so he '
went on. picking up the beads and swallawing them, one by one. unto only a few were IcfL Hia crop wu now so fuHand v
