Thus she answered: “I am Squ’tes,
The Little Fire....
I have lived in the deep green forest,
Even as you have for many ages,
Singing my songs to K’musom’n,
Unto our Father the mighty mountain;
And, because he well loved my music,
For a reward he sent me hither
To seek a youth whose name is Mipis,
Whom he wills that I should wed.”
