with your sister for some wood." Nedawi ran into the tent,
bringing back her little red blanket, but the brown-faced, roly-poly baby, who had been having a comfortable nap in spite of being
all the while tied straight to his board, woke with a merry crow
just as the mother was about to attach him, board and all, to
Nedawi's neck. So he was taken from the board instead, and, after
he had kicked in happy freedom for a moment, Nedawi stood in front
of her mother, who placed Habazhu on the little girl's back, and
drew the blanket over him, leaving his arms free. She next put
into his hand a little hollow gourd, filled with seeds, which
served as a rattle; Nedawi held both ends of the blanket tightly in
front of her, and was then ready to walk around with the little
man. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
