LEGEND OF THE HEAD OF GOLD

_Dakota_

A man had four children. And they were all young men, but they were

poor and it seemed as if they would die of laziness. The old man said,

"Behold! old woman. I have the greatest pity for my youngest child,

and I do not wish him to die of poverty. See here; let us seek the

Great Mystery, Wakantanka. If we find him, behold! I will give the boy

to him to train up well for me."

"Yes, old man; you say well. We will do so," said the old woman. So at

once they went toward the Darkening Land, seeking Wakantanka. They

came to a very high hill; and as they came to it, behold! another man

came there also.
