“But can’t I hear what Cho-gay is going to do, first?”
“No,” said Kaw, “you’ll hear all about that later. Run along now, for your job’s very important.”
Wongo left them, going very slowly, it is true, and with many a backward glance at the two. Kaw chuckled to himself:
“A good, kindly friend, my little bear,
Always good natured and merry;
Anything doing, he’s sure to be there;
But curious—? Very—Oh, VERY!”
He chuckled again and turned to Cho-gay:
“I want Chu-ta-win, the eagle, to take you to the Up-above Country. Have you ever been?” pointing to the clouds.
“No, I haven’t,” said Cho-gay. “Why in the world do you want me to go up there, and what would I do after I got there? You’re asking much, friend Kaw.”
