Just then some men came up.
They had been hunting, and now all the people crowded round to see the fine game they had brought.
The hunters were very hungry, so they all turned back to the cliff village to cook the deer and rabbits which they had killed.
There was great haste to prepare the food for the hungry men.
CHAPTER VIII

Another woman cooked more piki on the hot stones, while one of the men went to the reservoir for a jar of water.
Then the hunters skinned the animals and roasted them.
