Bright Feather is a young boy kept out of a contest of bow-and-arrow skills by the older members of his tribe. The tribe's chief tells Bright Feather when one such as himself, a young man named Comet's Tail, was also too young to participate in the contest. Broken-stone wins the contest Comet's tail was not old enough to participate in. As he leaves, Broken-stone soon spurns an old woman of the tribe when she asks for food. Comet's Tail hears the woman's plight, and offers the woman a gathering of wheat before walking into the forest.
