CHAPTER IV
18/23

The Bear said it was the Raven who killed the Gray Elk an' told the Squaw-who-has-dreams of the powder of the whirlwind.
"'Then the Bear an' the Squaw-who-has-dreams made a fire an' smoked an' laid a plot.

The Bear did not know where to find the powder of the whirlwind which the Raven kept always in a secret place.

But the Bear told the Squaw-who-has-dreams that she should marry the Raven an' watch until she found where the powder of the whirlwind was kept in its secret place; an' then she was to give some to the Raven, an' he, too, would be twisted an' die.

There was a great danger, though; the Raven would, after the one day when they were wedded, want to kill the Squaw-who-has-dreams.

So to protect her, the Bear told her she must begin to tell the Raven the moment she was married to him the Story-that-never-ends.
