“Come out, Lodrix,” said the boy. “I am the chief’s son, and I will show you our village.”
Lodrix jumped up, very glad to get out of the hut, and the two boys walked off together through the village.
As they went along, Lodrix saw many strange things.
He had never seen a land village before, because his people never went far from the lake.
These huts were not built on piles as the lake huts were, and it seemed strange to see no water and no boats.
The sheep and goats that were running about, looked very much like his own, and as they came toward Lodrix, they seemed friendly.
“Come to my house,” said the little boy. “My father wishes to see you.”
So the boys ran toward the largest hut in the Bear village.
