Sharptooth knew that they could climb the trees.
Many a time they had nearly caught her.
She was afraid that they would get the baby.
So she always stayed near him while he slept.
“She made a safe place for the baby to sleep”
When she stayed in a tree that had no vines, there was no place to lay the baby.
So she wove the slender branches together.
She made a safe place for the baby to sleep.
She lulled him to sleep as he lay in her arms.
