As She Wolf had predicted, he followed Dawn, and was unhappy away from her. She Wolf gave up the chase, and Sunrise armed with his father’s bow and arrows did the hunting for the cave.
A time came when the nice collection of flints which No Man had left behind him was almost entirely dispersed. Many of the flints had been broken, many lost and it behooved Sunrise to replenish the supply. So without saying anything to She Wolf he took his bow, some arrows with broken heads, and one good arrow for a model, and trotted off to old No Foot’s workshop on the flinty hillside.
“Please,” said Sunrise, “I am nearly out of flints, and I must have new ones or else She Wolf and Dawn will starve for want of meat.”
“Who are you to talk so big of hunting?” said No Foot, looking up.
“I am Sunrise, the son of No Man and She Wolf,” said Sunrise, “and I am hard put to it for flints.”
“And what do you offer me in exchange for my trouble and my flints.”
“For so many,” said Sunrise and he opened his right hand twice “I will give you as much moose-meat as I can bring hither in two trips.”
“I do not lack for meat,” said No Foot, “offer me something else.”
