council and he strived, always, to protect the treasures from the past.
47 His brother, unwise in his business, went
into debt, and their family home was seized. Dreaming Dog paid
off the debt and took possession of the house.
48 When he came to the door, his brother
covered his face, and pleaded, "I know the fate I deserve, and accept
it. May we have a hand cart into which to load our things?"
49 "Why should my brother," asked Dreaming
Dog, "remove his things from our house? I need a caretaker for
this property, and a housekeeper. Do you, by chance, know
where I might find them?"
50 "Yes, master," his brother announced,
"though they are undeserving they are here." He fell to his
knees, hugging his brother's robes, and weeping.
51 "Arise, my brother," commanded Dreaming Dog, "will you not help me unload my ox cart?"
52 The man rose to his feet, wiped his
eyes, answering, "Yes, master." And Dreaming Dog moved back
to his home.
