Docas, Yisoo, and a number of the other boys jumped in.
“Take hold of hands and make a ring,” said Docas. “Now we will play we are having an eagle dance.”
“It’s great fun!” said Yisoo.
“I’m stuck!” cried Docas. Yisoo and the other boys ran to him and pulled him loose from the big sticky lump in which his feet had stuck.
They jumped faster and faster. “You’re jumping on my toes,” cried Yisoo to Docas.
Then they both laughed, for Yisoo was not hurt.
They jumped about so fast that very soon they had crushed every lump.
While the children were jumping, Massea was sitting on the ground near by, chopping tules. He carried the chopped tules to where the children were jumping.
“Stop jumping a minute while I throw these in. Then you can mix them with the adobe,” said Massea.
“What are the broken tules for?” asked Docas.
