When they reached the cave, Thorn told Pineknot all over again about
the mammoth. And he scratched a picture on the piece of tusk to show
him. Holding up the picture he said, "This is the way the angry
mammoth looked. His mouth was open, and his trunk was up. When still
a long way off, the men heard him trumpeting."
Then Thorn made another picture of the mammoth. In it he showed the
big body with the long hair, and the turned-up tusks, the long trunk,
the small eyes, and the shaggy ears.
Thorn was very happy that evening, as he sat in his old place by the
fire. Pineknot sat beside him, and Wow wow lay at his feet.
CHAPTER XV
THE RED MEN OF OUR OWN COUNTRY IN THE STONE AGE
Last summer a little boy went to visit his grandfather who lived near
one of the beautiful lakes in the northern part of our own land. The
family doctor was very kind to the boy and often took him on long walks
into the country.
[Illustration: A North American Indian]
One day, as they were going through the woods together, the boy said to
his friend, "Grandpa says that when he first came here, red men lived
all about him, and that they made their houses of skins and called them
wigwams. Afterwards the red men were all moved to the west and given
land there. But grandpa says that for years after they went away, he
used to find their arrow heads and stone axes as he turned up the
ground in plowing.
