There were dark clouds in the sky; so Firekeeper covered the fire with ashes, and they got ready for the night.
All but Firekeeper were soon asleep.
As she kept watch that night there was something that troubled her.
It was not the roaring river.
It was not the pouring rain.
She had heard those sounds before.
It was a sound that was new to her, and she wondered what it meant.
It seemed to come from deep down in the cave, and sounded like rumbling water.
She did not wish to frighten the clan, so she let them all sleep.
