Every day Kali went far off to practice shooting arrows.

And every day, when he was out of sight of the caves,

he laid the arrows down,

put the bow to his mouth,

and plucked the string.

Animals listened

and were still.

Birds listened

and were still.

And the stars came close to listen.

When his father asked how practice had gone,

Kali closed his eyes and said, “Good.”

On the day of the big hunt,

Kali watched the sun rise.

The string on his bow was taut

and his arrows sharp.

The men led the way.

Excited boys followed,

over hills and valleys and across vast plains.

Finally, the leader spotted animals in the distance—

mammoths that were bigger and more beautiful

than any Kali had ever seen.
