He went to the foot of the hill.

And	then he looked all around.

Plainly	there was no	door there.

While he was pulling on them	the bunched ones	then he just opened the door

It was awhile.

He finally said:	"Yes,	I am one of us."

Then he told his name.

Then he entered.

And	they asked him:	"What do you do?"	now that he had	become a chief.

Then he took to bed.

But	the scalped man	after he stood outside	then he ran away.
