CHAPTER X
HOME AGAIN
The father and mother had been looking far and near for their little boy and girl.
They had no one to help in the search, because they did not live near any other cliff people.
In their house there was room for only one family.
There was no way of calling the people together, because the cliff-dwellers had no chief, as some of the Indians had.
At last the tired parents had gone into the kiva to pray to the gods to lead their children safely home.
They threw themselves down and scattered handfuls of sacred corn before the bear, which they thought they saw in the fire.
