After she had rolled it around in her hand awhile it became a
beautiful consistency for modeling, so she began making
statuettes of the different girls. She had a great deal of
aptness in modeling and managed to make her figures resemble
somewhat the girls they were supposed to represent. She became
so absorbed in her new occupation that she forgot the burning
pain in her hand, and gradually the swelling went down.

Sahwah came along to see how she was feeling and exclaimed in
delight at the statuettes. Hinpoha held up her hand warningly,
for Migwan was asleep. Sahwah promptly fell to making hand signs
of admiration. Hinpoha laughed at her antics, and falling into
her mood, arrayed her figures in a semicircle on the ground, and
sitting cross-legged behind them, made a gesture to intimate that
they were for sale. Sahwah sat down and signalled that she had
come to buy. She indicated several that she would like to have
and Hinpoha held up fingers for the price. Nyoda came along and
watched them with keen amusement; Gladys looked on uncomprehendingly.
Sahwah purchased the Winnebagos in effigy, paying for them with
pebbles, and making hand signs to the effect that she considered
them a bargain at the price. Finally there was only one left.
This was Gladys. Sahwah refused to purchase. Hinpoha lowered her
price step by step, but Sahwah waved her away. The other girls,
crowding around to see the fun, caught on and giggled.

"What's the joke?" asked Gladys. Nobody answered. Finding the
eyes of several girls fixed on her, Gladys flushed. "It's
something about me," she cried passionately. "I know it's
something about me. You know I can't understand your old signs
and motions and you can talk about me all you want. I hate you!"
