Many days he traveled, keeping his food as long as he could by eating berries and roots or some animal that he killed. At last he came to the house of a wolf. “Where are you going?” asked the wolf. “I seek the place where the sun lives,” said Scar-face. “I know all the prairies, the valleys, and the mountains, but I don’t know the sun’s home,” said the wolf; “but ask the bear; he may know.” The next night the young man reached the bear’s house. “I know not where he stops. I know much country, but I have never seen the lodge. Ask the badger; he is smart,” said the bear. The badger was in his hole and was rather cross at being disturbed. He did not know the sun’s house, but said perhaps the wolverine would know. Though Scar-face searched the woods, he could not find the wolverine. In despair he sat down to rest. He cried to the wolverine to pity him, that his moccasins were worn out and his food gone. The wolverine appeared. “Ah, I know where he lives; to-morrow you shall see: it is beyond the great water.” The next morning the wolverine put the young man on the trail, and at last he came to a great water. Here his courage failed; he was in despair. There was no way to cross. Just then two swans appeared and asked him about himself. When he told his story, they took him safely over. “Now,” said they, as he stepped ashore, “you are close to the sun’s house. Follow that trail.” Scar-face soon saw some beautiful things in the path,—a war-shirt, shield, bow, and arrow. But he did not touch them. Soon he came upon a handsome young man whose name was Morning Star. He was the child of the sun and the moon. They became great friends. Together they went to the house of the sun, and there Morning Star’s mother was kind to Scar-face because her son told her that Scar-face had not stolen his pretty things. When the sun came home at night, the moon hid Scar-face under some skins, but the sun knew at once that some one was there. So they brought him forth and told him he should always be with Morning Star as his comrade. And one day he saved his friend’s life from an attack of long-beaked birds down by the great water. Then the sun and moon were happy over what he had done and asked what they could do for him. And Scar-face told them his story, and the sun told him he should marry his sweetheart. And he took the scar from his face as a sign to the girl. They gave him many beautiful presents, and the sun taught him many things, and how the medicine lodge should be built and how the dance should be danced, and at last Scar-face parted from them, and went home over the Milky Way, which is a bridge connecting heaven and earth.
