White Maiden was kind and good, and she could always see him.
One day White Maiden called all the Indian maidens and said:
"My brother, Big Moose, wishes to marry, but he will not marry any one who cannot see him, and only those who are good can see him."
All the Indian maidens were glad when they heard that Big Moose wished to marry. They had all heard how brave and strong he was, and what a great hunter he was, and how kind and good and wonderful he was, in every way.
Each wished that he would choose her for his wife, and each was very sure that she could see him.
For a long time after that the Indian maidens would go down to the wigwam of Big Moose, by the lake, and try to see him. Every evening some of them would go at sunset and sit and watch for him.
When he came they would hear him, and the door of the wigwam would be opened, and he would go in, but they could not see him.
At the other end of the village lived an old Indian with his three daughters. The two older daughters were not kind to the youngest one. They made her do all the work and gave her little to eat.
The oldest sister had a very hard heart. Once, when she was angry, she threw a pail of hot ashes at the youngest sister.
The child's face was burned, and she was called Little Scar-Face.
