O-GO’S SECOND ENEMY 
O GO lay under the hazel bush with Ilg 
and Ela, watching his parents cut 
steadily away at the big poplar tree. 
Never before, had it taken them so long to get 
a tree down, and O-Go was puzzled about the 
matter. There were plenty of small trees all 
about, which would have done just as well 
to furnish bark for O-Go’s dinner, and he 
didn’t like the idea of waiting while they 
chopped down this big one.
