 CHAPTER I
THE CLIFF COUNTRY

Little Teni and Mavo lived in a dry sandy country far

away from here.
They lived with their father and mother high up on a
rocky cliff.

All about them were rocks and sand.

They could not play in the shade of the trees, because 2

in that dry land there were very few trees.

But the little boy and girl had great fun climbing up and
down the rocks and running in the sunshine.
One day when Mavo and Teni were playing at the foot
of the cliff, they saw some baby rabbits not far away.

They were brown rabbits, just the kind that Teni loved
to play with.

“Oh, Mavo! Let us catch them,” he said, and the two ran 3
off together.

As the children came near, the little rabbits scampered

away as fast as they could.

The mother rabbit was waiting for her children in a hole

near by and they ran straight for home.

Mavo laughed as the little creatures ran over the sand 4

toward the hollow cliff.
“Come, Mavo,” said Teni. “We can catch them if we
hurry.”

They did not see the rabbits go into the hole, and ran
on and on.

“I see them, Teni,” said Mavo, pointing to a brown spot 5

in the distance.

But when they came to the brown spot they saw only a
stone.

They looked all about them, but could find no trace of

the rabbits. Mavo was so disappointed not to find them!

“Where are the rabbits?” said Teni.

“We have lost them.”

“They may be hiding there,” he said, looking toward a

clump of cedar trees, at the foot of the cliff.
The two children ran among the trees, but could find no 6
rabbits.

Mavo was tired and thirsty, so Teni said, “Sit down,

Mavo; I will get you a drink of water. See, the rocks are
wet. There must be a spring in the cliff.”

Mavo sat on a rock, while her brother climbed up the

cliff to the spring.

As he stooped down to take a drink he wondered what

he could use to carry some water to Mavo.

He looked around for a gourd but could find none. 7

The only thing he could use was the little skin bag that
hung around his neck.
He never opened this bag, for he knew that if he lost
the bit of bear’s fur from inside, no one would know
what his real name was.

The children of the cliff-dwellers took their names from

their mothers.

These names were very queer, because they were the 8

names of animals or the sun or the moon.

The little piece of fur showed that Mavo and Teni

belonged to the bear family.
Teni knew that Mavo was very thirsty, so he took the
bag from his neck and opened it.

He held the fur tight in his hand, for he had no pocket 9

in his loose skin tunic.

Mavo drank the clear water, and Teni sat down beside
her and put the fur carefully back in the bag.
Being very warm, he threw off his skin tunic for a few
minutes and rolled about in the sand.

The brother and sister meant to rest only a moment,

but as the shadows grew longer and longer the little
heads drooped, and soon they were fast asleep in the
warm sand.

10
The sun went down.

11
The little stars came out.

Their mother had told them that these were baby suns,
and that the pale moon was the mother.

12
As the children slept, an owl cried over their heads, and
the black beetles ran over their little brown feet.

13
 CHAPTER II
LOST

In the early morning, when Father Sun began to put his

star babies to bed, the little cliff-dwellers awoke.
They looked about for their father and mother, for they
thought they had been sleeping on their own little skin
bed.

14
“Why, Teni,” said Mavo, “we are out of doors; see the
red cliff, and the cedar-tree over there.”

They called and called, but no one answered.

Even the owl had gone.

Teni took Mavo by the hand, and said, “Let us go

home.”
So they started straight for the cliff which they thought
was home.

They walked and walked, but the cliff was not as near 15
as it seemed.

Mavo began to cry, and said, “Oh, Teni, hurry home, I

am so hungry!”

“Never mind, Mavo,” said Teni, “I will find something for

you to eat, and then we will try to find home.”

So Mavo stopped crying, and clung to Teni’s hand, as he

looked about for the little plant which he knew was
good to eat.

Teni had to look a long time, and Mavo was very tired 16
before he found the plant.
“See, Mavo! this is what I have been looking for,” said
Teni, as he stooped down and pulled up an herb.

“Let us eat these roots; they are very good; then we will 17
start for home.”

The brother and sister stopped a short time to eat their

breakfast of roots, then they ran on again.

As the sun grew hotter the sand seemed to grow

heavier.

How glad they would be to find their home!

 CHAPTER III
THE TOWER

As they stopped a moment to rest under some sage-

bushes, they saw something which frightened them.
