"Now friends," said the Stone Boy, "I make myself a feast, therefore I advise you to cover yourselves well."

The young men laughed. They covered their heads with skins. "Let us see what this boy will do," they said.

The Stone Boy gathered the remnants of meat and set the borrowed pot before him. Then he beat his drum, and lo, a noise of deep thunder immediately shook the earth and rolled upward to the sky. A wind arose with cracking thunder and zigzag lightning, so that nothing had been seen or heard don on the earth like to this.

The Stone Boy began eating while branches of trees were falling all about. The four brothers were scared. They saw that this boy was indeed wakan and very powerful. The wind hurled them against trees, where they clung, crying out to the Stone Boy to hasten his eating. "We do not wish to be destroyed!" cried the brothers. The boy continued to eat calmly and slowly, and the wind blew harder, tearing trees from the earth. But when he had finished eating, the storm subsided and no one had been destroyed.
