“Are they coming this way?” Angry Wolf asked quietly.
Little Eagle shook his head.
“They found a herd of buffaloes near their camp,” he answered. “They’re hunting now.”
“It is too bad that you couldn’t have taken two of their horses,” Angry Wolf said thoughtfully. “We would have had a chance to escape.”
“I could have taken two,” Little Eagle answered. “The horses that the warriors weren’t riding were left unguarded in camp. I didn’t take them because I was afraid you weren’t strong enough to ride as hard as we would need to ride in order to escape.”
“I could ride,” Angry Wolf said. “However, it would be too dangerous for you to try to get the horses. It is likely that someone would catch you at it.”
“I could still get them before the warriors returned from hunting,” Little Eagle insisted.
“It might be our last chance to get horses,” Angry Wolf said thoughtfully.
“I am going to get horses for us,” Little Eagle said, suddenly making up his mind.
“It is too dangerous,” Angry Wolf repeated. “There is some danger you have overlooked.”
