OTHER MEN 



RAVEN went back to the pea-vine and there he 

 found that three other men had just fallen, from 

 the pod out of which the first one had dropped. 

 These men, like the first, were looking about in 

 wonder not knowing what to make of themselves 

 and the world about them. 



" Come with me," said Raven; and he led them 

 away in an opposite direction from the one in 

 which he had led the first Man, and brought them 

 to solid land close to the sea. " Stop here, and I 

 will teach you what to do and how to live," said 

 he. 



He caused some small trees and bushes to grow 

 on the hillside and in the hollows, and he took 

 a piece of wood from one of these, and a cord, and 

 made a bow and showed them how to shoot game 

 for food. Then he taught them to make a fire 

 with a fire-drill. He made plants, and gulls, and 

 loons, and other birds such as fly about on the 

 seacoast.
