"What will my father do?" asked the Apo-Ulmen.
"Man is weak," Antinahuel replied; "but Pillian loves his sons, the Moluchos, he will inspire the words I shall pronounce; my only desire is the happiness of the Araucano nation."
"My father has convoked the great Auca-coyog of the nation; did he then suspect the news he has just received?"
"Antinahuel knows everything," he answered, with a smile.
"Good! I know what my father thinks."
"Perhaps."
"Let my father remember the words I have spoken."
"My ears are open, my son may repeat them,"
"When cougars tear each other to pieces, they prepare a rich quarry for the eagles of the Andes."
"Good!" said Antinahuel, with a laugh; "my son is a great chief, let him follow me to the Auca-coyog, the warriors are waiting for us."
