                                Kapitel 2: II.
                                --------------


The young boy, like every other Indian boy, had to milk the goats on this
Saturday morning. Therefore he was not pleased. He was not keen on milking the
goats. In fact, he detested it.
Like every other boy, when those had to do things, they disliked to do, he
sometimes yelled at his parents that he would leave this place someday. But
today, he just took care of those stinky animals. Maybe he just was not in the
mood to open his mouth more than necessary, maybe he sensed the tension in the
air, his parents and the whole hamlet launched into the atmosphere. 
Twice a week, the group of clansman, which included him as one of the hunters,
went out to ensure the feeding of most of the Indians in his hamlet. After he
had finished milking the goats, he heard that another boy of the same age as
Tala was injured at the hunt of yesterday and thus Tala Enola Palátala, son of
Nita Palátala, was frightened. Tala Enola Palátala, the lonely wolf of the red
rising sun, was frightened. Something, he dissembled. Readily, he waited for the
other hunters to accompany them. A knee-high dog escorted the four men on their
way to the hunting ground. The dog seemed disimpassioned, but he was just
waiting for a command to sit, to snap, or to close in on a prey.
To make a long story short, the hunt was successful.
More precisely said, two of the men scared up a gazelle, which was disjoined
from his flock, the dog thronged it and the other two young men hunted the
gazelle down.
Papewas, which means as much as „lucky man“, had to carry the gazelle home.
Tala returned with more luck than the lucky man, because it was him who had
culled the gazelle. And now, his shoulder was untinged from the red, bleeding
body of the dead animal.
Additionally, this gazelle was the first animal he had ever culled.
A great step for a young native American man to approach his manhood.
