BLIND LADY

Once upon a time, there was a family of Numunu, who lived a happy life on the open plains. They had a daughter, who was beautifui, but blind. They had to do everything for her and watch out for her when they were doing things.

They were getting ready to möve when she told them they should go without her. She asked them to leave her some food and water, where she could find them. They did not want to leave her, but she insisted. So they did äs she instructed them. They put some food and water where she could find them with no difficulty, and then they moved away.

It wasn't long before she had eaten the food they had prepared for her and drank all of the water. She thought maybe she could find her way to the river, which was nearby, so she started to go out when she feil over something. She didn't know what it was, but when she touched it, it spoke to her. It was a Peyote Button. It asked her why she was there and why she hadn't gone on with her people. She explained that she was blind and that she had become a handicap to her family, so she stayed behind when they moved away.

The Peyote Button said he could heip her if she would follow bis instructions. He told her to go to the river and wash for four days. She did äs he directed, finding her way to the river and then washing, at first very little and very carefülly. Then she was able to find her way better each day and washed better. Each time she found that her eyesight was coming back, and on the fourth day, she could see completely. 

That's the way they told the story.
