"I will go," White Otter said, eagerly.
"White Otter, you are a great chief," Red Dog told him. "You have done big things to help us. You must lie down and rest. My young men will watch."
"No, no, I will watch," insisted White Otter. "Perhaps something good will come of it. Red Dog, you must listen to my words."
"I will not talk against it," said Red Dog.
"I will go," replied White Otter.
"I will go with you," said Sun Bird.
"No, my brother, I must go alone," White Otter told him.
A few moments later four scouts left the company, and disappeared into the night. One was White Otter. He rode away toward the north.
"I believe White Otter has gone to watch for his people," Little Raven told Sun Bird.
"It may be true," said Sun Bird.
