One day in early winter, when the first white snow lay on the ground, the oldest sister said:
"Come, Scar-Face, bring me my shell beads and help me to dress. I am going to marry Big Moose."
Little Scar-Face brought the beads and put them on the oldest sister and helped her to dress.
At sunset the oldest sister went down to the wigwam by the lake. White Maiden asked her to come in. By and by they heard Big Moose. They could hear his sled running through the snow.
White Maiden took the sister to the door of the wigwam and said, "Can you see my brother?"
"Yes, I can see him very well," answered the other.
"Then look and tell me what the string of his sled is made of," said White Maiden.
"It is made of moose skin," said the sister of Little Scar-Face.
"No, it is not made of moose skin. You have not seen my brother. You must go away," said White Maiden.
