"Come, my brothers, we will go to this place, and hide until it grows dark," proposed Sun Bird. "I will ask three scouts to go over to that ridge to watch those warriors. I will ask White Otter to be the leader."
"I will go," White Otter volunteered, eagerly.
Most of the war party desired to accompany the Ogalala on his perilous reconnaissance. Having been appointed as leader, however, White Otter was privileged to choose his companions.
"I will ask Lean Wolf and Little Raven to go with me," said White Otter.
"I will go with you," replied Lean Wolf.
"I will go," Little Raven said, eagerly, as his eyes flashed with boyish enthusiasm.
