Now the pony was led up, and Teni was lifted to its back.
Teni could ride a pony, because all Indian boys are taught to ride when they are very young.
So he started off, sitting very straight and looking proudly before him.
Mavo clapped her hands and said, “Hurry back, Teni.”
“I will,” answered Teni, as the pony galloped away.
The boy and the pony were soon hidden by the thick dust.
In a short time Teni was back.
He jumped down quickly and patted the pony’s head, happy because he had had so fine a ride.
