The children clung to their father while Demino tried to tell the story.
The father did not wait to hear very much, for he wished to get back to the mother.
How happy he was to find that the fierce Indians had not harmed his children! and he thanked Demino again and again.
As they came nearer the cliff they saw their mother watching.
She waved her hand and called to them, but they could not hear her, they were so far below.
Then she raised her arms to the moon above, and called aloud her thanks for the safe return of her children.
The little boy and girl were soon clinging to their mother and trying to tell her all about what had happened.
