The Lake of the Sky

CHAPTER IV
7/38

He shook him very roughly and said, "I no like you any more! I go away.

Leave you alone!" But Little Brother begged, "Don't be angry! Don't be angry! Let's go far away! I help you all the time! Don't be angry!" Gradually he persuaded the Hunter Brother to forgive him and they started off together toward the "Big Water"-- _Lake Tahoe_.

On the way the Hunter Brother taught the Little Brother how to shoot with a bow and arrow.

By the time they reached the spot now known as Lakeside both their belts were filled with squirrels that they had shot.
At dusk they built a good fire and when there were plenty of glowing coals, Hunter Brother dug a long hole, and filling it with embers, laid the squirrels in a row on the coals covering them all up with earth.
He was tired and lay down by the fire to rest till the squirrels should be cooked.

With his head resting on his arms, the warmth of the fire soothing him, he soon fell fast, fast asleep.
Little Brother sat by the fire and as the night grew darker, he grew hungrier and hungrier.
