His attempt to rise with the burden is only successful when, unperceived by him, his father, who has looked on with affectionate pride, helps him to raise it.

In a moment he reappears at the top of the steps, and with a single handspring is at his father's side. Kah-sha has already turnedto enter the house; Tashekah, with his blanket about her neck, walks beside him, thoroughly enjoying the triumphal procession. For now, eager to hear and see the home-comers, and to share in both the providing for and the eating of the generous supper, so much needed by the travellers, the crowd follows Kah-sha and his comp...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
