Before sunrise the next morning Sharptooth awoke.
She opened her eyes and looked out upon the hills.
“Hyenas were stealing down to their caves”
She heard animals moving about.
A large cave-bear was passing by toward his cave.
Hyenas, too, were stealing down to their caves.
Many flesh-eating animals were slinking away to their dens.
They were tired with their night’s work.
Most of them had eaten until they were satisfied, and now they were ready to sleep through the day.
