“I shouldn’t care to be attacked by a cave bear,” said Long-head. “They certainly are fierce creatures.”

“What a fine patch of blueberries!” said Rago.

“Goni and baby sister would like some of these berries, I know. I wish I might carry some to them.”

“I will show you how to make a basket,” said Long-head.

“Let us find some rushes.”

“There is a marshy place,” said Long-head, pointing to the river. “We can find some rushes there.”

So the boys gathered the rushes and sat down upon the ground to make the basket.

Long-head wove the rushes together for the bottom of the basket.
