Chaske was astonished to see his gentle wife angry, but he concluded he would eat his supper, and then follow her, hoping that in the meantime she would recover her good temper.
When he went out, she was nowhere to be seen.

He called her--he thought at first that she had hid herself.

But, as night came on, and neither she nor the child returned, the deserted husband grew desperate; he could not stay in his lodge, and the only thing that he could do was to start in search of her.
He walked all night, but saw no trace of her.

About sunrise he came to a stream, and following it up a little way he came to a beaver dam, and on it sat his wife with her child in her arms.

And beautiful she looked, with her long tresses falling into the water.
Chaske was delighted to find her.
