One day a woman came into the house to her and walked out again without speaking a word.
- There is a fort on my land and one day I was short of wood, I went down to the fort and I cut a few sticks. When I had the few trees cut they were as small as my arms. Some time after my mother died and the following day two of my best cows died.
