Story 1

Chief Tahu woke up late. He felt the sunset. His tired eyes welcomed the soft light coming through the loosely covered entrance of his wigwam. He sat up and breathed in the warm air of the late fall. He liked the smell of fallen leaves. Chief Tahu sat quietly for a minute. No sound came from the village. With effort Chief Tahu raised himself from the floor and stepped outside.
Everybody was gone. The fire was still flickering on the burned wood. He heard someone running. Young Guno rushed towards him through the darkening forest.
"Chief! Chief!"
Guno's eyes were wide with the mix of awe and fear. He stopped, breathing fast.
"The light!... on the horizon. There is light on the horizon."
Chief Tahu raised his hand to silence the boy. He closed his eyes and stood there listening. Guno could not understand what the chief was trying to hear.
