Teni put his arm about his sister and said, “Come, Mavo. We must be brave.”
When they were in the house even Teni felt strange, for it was very much larger than his house.
Tears came to his eyes, but he tried hard not to cry.
“Oh, Mavo!” he called, “see!” and they ran to the corner, where a tiny brown baby lay fast asleep on a deerskin.
The little boy, who had been climbing up and down some wooden pegs in the wall, ran toward them, saying, “That is my baby brother.”
Mavo lay down on the deerskin and put her little hands on the baby’s cheek.
She was happy now, and soon fell asleep.
