GREAT-SOUTH-STAR, PROTECTOR OF WARRIORS. 49 
to him: “You are Young-Flint-Stone. Keep going, and you will 
come to where your father lives.” So Young-Flint-Stone went on, and 
on, until he came to the next man, and this man was angry like the 
first one. But this made no difference with Young-Flint-Stone. He 
went up toward the man, and took out a handful of meal and put it in 
the man’s mouth. The man then replied, saying: “This reminds me 
of being in Where-Blackbirds-lit-on-elm-Tree, or, Stone-Corn-Mills- 
lying-on-Hill-side, or Large-elm-Tree-near-Edge-of-the-Village, or 
Where-large-Ears-of-Corn-grow. I am sure I can see the place in 
memory. Young-Flint-Stone, your father lives somewhere beyond, to 
the south. If you go that way you will meet another man, and he will 
give you more information about this place.” Young-Flint-Stone con- 
tinued his journey until he came to the next man, who was the third 
man he met after leaving home. This man also was angry at the sight 
of a stranger, because it had been such a long time since he had seen a 
human being. But Young-Flint-Stone went up to him and took out 
a handful of corn meal and put it in the man’s mouth, to show he was 
from the same village the man was from. When he had done this, the 
man threw back his head, and said: “This puts me in mind of being in 
Where-Blackbirds-lit-on-elm-Tree, or, Stone-Corn-Mills-lying-on-Hill- 
side, or, Large-elm-Tree-near-Edge-of-the-Village, or, Where-large- 
Ears-of-Corn-grow. You are Young-Flint-Stone. You are going to 
see your father. By keeping on you will come to another man, and 
there you can secure more information from him. He knows more 
about your father, for he is near to your father.” 
Young-Flint-Stone went on again, traveling fast, until he came to 
one whom he knew to be the last man whom he would meet before 
reaching his father’s place. When he made his appearance to this man 
the man was angry with him, for the reason that he had seen nobody 
for a long time, the Healthy-Flint-Stone-Man being the last man he 
had seen. Young-Flint-Stone went up to the man in order to show him 
that he lived at the same place the man had lived and which the man 
had left. He put a handful of meal into his mouth. The man threw 
back his head and laughed, and said: “Yes, this reminds me of being 
in Where-Blackbirds-lit-on-elm-Tree, or, Stone-Corn-Mills-lying-on- 
Hill-side, or, Large-elm-Tree-near-Edge-of-the-Village, or, Where- 
large-Ears-of-Corn-grow. . Well, Young-Flint-Stone, you came in 
search of your father. Your father lives down further south where he 
is near to his enemies. He surely has great powers and you will have 
many dangers to overcome before seeing him. You will have to sneak 
around to get to his dwelling place, for if he sees you before you get up
