Chapter 11
Small Hawk watched him go and then turned to the hawk.
“Now that is settled,” said the bird. “Let us begin.”
The two sat and stared at each other for a time. Then Small Hawk said, “What am I supposed to do?”
“Anything or nothing,” it replied.
“That does not make sense. Rides The Wind told me I’m to learn about myself from you. How can I do that if I do nothing? And if I do just anything, without guidance, I still will not learn.”
Small Hawk was beginning to think maybe he had chosen the wrong guide. Maybe the bear would have been more helpful.
“Then ask me a question,” said the hawk.
“All right.” Small Hawk thought for a moment. “Will I grow to be a brave, marry and have children?”
“I cannot predict the future,” said the hawk. “I can only reveal what is inside you. I know you want to have someone in your life to love.”
