making noise! Curiously, Raven approached and
saw a group of tiny creatures in the shell. When they
saw Raven, they huddled together and tried to hide.

calming the creatures in the shell. Then, using his

made them thirstier. Determined to take care of the
men he had found, Raven flew to find them
provisions.
