"What are you doing here," asked the store keeper in a rude voice?

They were on a trip and Running Water went inside the store.

"Just getting a few things to do to on the road," Running Water getting a few things off the shelf.

"We'll we don't serve your kind here, so get lost," demanded the store keeper.

“I'll go where they do serve my kind," said Running water putting the stuff back on the shelf.

"You do that,” said the store keeper.

So he left the store and saw his wife walk up to him.

"Did you get anything,” asked Angel

"No he wouldn’t let me; he doesn’t serve my kind, “said Running Water in a confused voice.

"Dad this is not right, I thought things have changed," asked White Hawk?

"I know son, but the whites today are the same as they were long ago,” said Running Water starting the car.

"Let’s go home,” Angel said buckling herself in.

As they arrived back on the reservation they drove up to the house and went inside and watched T.V. then there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it," asked Running Water?

"It’s me Jimmy,” looking through the window screen.

"Haw kolla" (hello friend), what brings you here, “asked Running Water in the Lakota language?

"Came by to see how the trip went,” said Jimmy.

"We had fun we had a great time, come on in, " asked Running Water.

"Haw kolla, tokeke ya un he " (hello friend, how are you, “asked White Hawk in the Lakota language?

"Washte " (good), " said Jimmy in the Lakota language.

"Washte " (good), " said White Hawk.

"I was wandering if you would like to catch some fish with my sister and me," asked Jimmy?

"Sister, you have a sister,” asked White Hawk confused?

"Yeah," said Jimmy.

"I didn't know you had a sister, " asked White Hawk?

"Yes she wasn’t born at that time yet,” Jimmy laughing.

"Oh,” White Hawk laughed.

"Come on lets go get some fish, " said Jimmy.

So they went to the stream and fished. They caught a lot of disband threw them back into the water.

"Man if my sister was here already she would have caught more fish than we did,” laughed Jimmy.

"Hey Jimmy, “yelled Lisa from the hill.

“Hey sis, “said Jimmy.

"Hey,” said Lisa.

Come over here I want you to meet my friend White Hawk, “said Jimmy.

Jimmy's sister walked over there and looked and fainted. It was like she has never seen a Native American Indian before and she lives on the Rez.

"Oh jeez, uh, sister wake up hello, " worried Jimmy.

White Hawk went to the stream and got a cup and dipped it into the water and walked back and poured the water on Lisa's face and she woke up.

"What happened,” asked Lisa still on the ground?

"Well you saw my friend and fainted,” Jimmy helping her up off the ground.

“Hello I am White Hawk, “White Hawk shaking Lisa's hand.

"Lisa,” said Lisa.

"Let’s go home we had enough meeting people,” Jimmy taking her up the hill to his car.

White Hawk was picking her stuff up and looked across the stream and saw the figure again. White Hawk closed his eyes and opened them and the figure was gone.

"White hawk, you coming,” shouted Jimmy from the hill!

“I am coming,” said White Hawk.

They got in to the car and drove to Jimmy's house. When they arrived they helped Lisa up to her room where she can get some sleep.

"Wow, I can’t believe she fainted,” said White Hawk laughing.

"I know, the funny thing is, she lives on the Rez so why did she faint, and she lives with a lot of Native Indians, “troubled Jimmy.

"I know right," said White Hawk.

"Let’s go do something while it’s still day light, “asked Jimmy?

"Okay, let’s walk around the Rez," said White Hawk.

So they started walking around and talking.
