"Why is the tide so high in Black Creek?" said Big Thunder to himself.
Big Thunder heard the rocks fall down in a great heap across the pathway.
"Why do the rocks fall down in a great heap across the pathway?" said Big Thunder to himself.
Big Thunder heard the buffalo roar.
"That is a buffalo, and he is roaring very loud. Why does he roar so loud?" said Big Thunder to himself.
Then Big Thunder heard a little voice, crying,
"Ah-oh-eee-oooo! What shall I do? What shall I do?"
Big Thunder ran to the place where he heard the little voice.
And there was Little Thunder.
He was running this way and that way.
And the buffalo was running after him.
