" very well , " said owasso , " i will go and get it . " and he ran into the water . " hand it to me , " he said , when he had approached near enough to receive it . " ha ! " answered the manito , " reach over and get it yourself . " owasso was about to grasp the ball , when the old magician suddenly seized him and pushed him into the boat . " my grandfather , " said owasso , " pray take my little brother also . alone i can not go with you . he will starve if i leave him . " mishosha only laughed at him . then uttering the charmed words , " chemaun poll ! " and giving his canoe a slap , it glided through the water , without further help , with the swiftness of an arrow . in a short time they reached the magician 's lodge , which stood upon the further shore , a little distance back from the lake . the two daughters of mishosha were seated within . " my daughter , " he said to his eldest , as they entered the lodge , " i have brought you a husband . "
the little brother would starve .
