When she was near home, a delicious smell arrested her progress and she became dizzy with hunger, .She saw her mother and the older children preparing the deer and pig meat over the fire. Just then Dahu, her husband as well as the best toolmaker, came back with several fish . Later he began his task: he sharpened his scarpers until they were sharp enough to cut

up the meat and scrape

the fish. Soon, the first of the guests began to arrive. Lala hoped it was to be just as wonderful as last year.
