Peesunt sighed and followed them, but then she saw another bush with the biggest and juiciest berries all over it. I must pick those she said to herself. ll go back with the best berries and people will say Of course. Shes the Chiefs daughter!
Quickly she picked the berries until her basket was overflowing. The others were out of sight, singing and talking, not noticing that Peesunt wasnt with them.
She ruushed to catch up and the strap on her basket broke and all the berries spilled onto the ground. As she bent to scoop them up, a handsome young man appeared, wrapped in a bearskin cloak.
Can I help you, Peesunt? he asked. How do you know my name? asked the girl. Everyone knows of beautiful Peesunt, the Chiefs daughter. You are so beautiful, you must be her. That is true said Peesunt. Everyone knows of my beauty.
When they had filled the basket again, the young man fixed the strap so Peesunt could carry it. The sun had almost gone to sleep and the forest was becoming dark .Its too late for you to walk back to your village the young man said. My people would be honoured if you would stay with us overnight. Peesunt did not know what to do, so she shook her long black hair, vainly and said she would stay.
When they came to his village, she saw other people, all wearing bearskin cloaks. The women would not speak or look at her. They kept their eyes on the ground.
