Example text

The wind does not blow more gently because a girl sews carelessly,” she said. ” She began to 29 yank my stitches out. I scowled but said nothing. My cheeks burned. I hated my mother! Soon I would have to learn to sew water pouches that would not leak and run dry. I wanted to cry. It was hopeless. Grandmother must have known my thoughts, for when Moss went out, she said to me quietly, “Your mother is stern, but she loves you. Did you know that she fought to keep you when you were born. Do you see any other twins in the ahne?

I ached to fly with it, to escape this trap of being a girl. If only I could become a horse myself. . Horses were running down from the high steppe into the river valley. The herd poured through one of the gullies that cut down to the flood plain. Their bodies gleamed like salmon backs in the sun.

Then it shifted its weight away from me and chewed. I could see the tips of its jawbones working in the hollows above its eyes. There are always bones and skulls near the places where the ahnes camp. I had seen how long and heavy the jawbones of horses were, how the teeth fit into their sockets, how they were worn short in the skull of an old horse.
