    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.
