1
00:00:06,734 --> 00:00:12,682
The women put the mongongo nuts into the pot with water and some roots.

2
00:00:12,683 --> 00:00:17,343
They used a long stick to mash everything together.

3
00:00:17,344 --> 00:00:21,603
As Mandy watched, her stomach began to growl.

4
00:00:21,604 --> 00:00:25,073
"You can do this," said Twi.

5
00:00:25,074 --> 00:00:27,939
She gave Mandy the stick.

6
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:31,869
Mandy stirred the dark red mixture.

7
00:00:31,870 --> 00:00:38,255
"When the hunters return," said Twi, "we can all enjoy the meal."

8
00:00:38,256 --> 00:00:43,802
Vinnie ran fast until he finally caught up with Kashe and Gau.

9
00:00:43,803 --> 00:00:48,541
They were standing in front of the fallen antelope and smiling.

10
00:00:48,542 --> 00:00:52,603
"Good fortune!" Kashe said to Vinnie.

11
00:00:52,604 --> 00:00:57,068
"Usually antelopes can run for a whole day before the poison spreads.

12
00:00:57,069 --> 00:00:59,763
This one was weak."

13
00:00:59,764 --> 00:01:03,609
Other hunters appeared from different directions.

14
00:01:03,610 --> 00:01:07,067
"Did the boy get it?" asked a man.

15
00:01:07,068 --> 00:01:10,943
Kashe turned to Vinnie and smiled.

16
00:01:10,944 --> 00:01:14,503
"Perhaps your arrow got this one, Vinnie."

17
00:01:14,504 --> 00:01:16,587
Vinnie shook his head.

18
00:01:16,588 --> 00:01:19,833
"I was too scared to shoot."

19
00:01:19,834 --> 00:01:22,405
He showed them his arrow.

20
00:01:22,406 --> 00:01:25,144
Kashe stuck his chest out.

21
00:01:25,145 --> 00:01:29,490
Vinnie noticed those six scars on his right side.

22
00:01:29,491 --> 00:01:35,421
"In our tribe, you become a man after your first kill," said Kashe.

23
00:01:35,422 --> 00:01:39,626
"Look here." He pointed to one of his scars.

24
00:01:39,627 --> 00:01:43,550
"I got this when I was your age."

25
00:01:43,551 --> 00:01:47,421
"Did an animal attack you?" asked Vinnie.

26
00:01:47,422 --> 00:01:53,051
Kashe laughed. "No, I killed a male antelope.

27
00:01:53,052 --> 00:01:56,873
That's why I have scars on my right side.

28
00:01:56,874 --> 00:02:01,442
If it had been a female, I would have scars on my left side."

29
00:02:01,443 --> 00:02:05,067
Kashe then pointed to his eyes.

30
00:02:05,068 --> 00:02:07,410
"These scars make me see clearer.

31
00:02:07,411 --> 00:02:10,689
The ones on my arms help me shoot better.

32
00:02:10,690 --> 00:02:15,194
The scars on my chest help me to stay calm when hunting."

33
00:02:15,195 --> 00:02:18,414
"Didn't it hurt?" asked Vinnie.

34
00:02:18,415 --> 00:02:22,417
He shivered at what might have made those scars.

35
00:02:22,418 --> 00:02:25,188
Kashe laughed again.

36
00:02:25,189 --> 00:02:27,699
"Pain is part of growing up."

37
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,036
Suddenly Gau shouted loudly.

38
00:02:31,037 --> 00:02:33,869
He pointed toward the trees.

39
00:02:33,870 --> 00:02:38,670
Two large black rhinos were stamping their feet.

40
00:02:38,671 --> 00:02:41,140
"We must leave," warned Kashe.

41
00:02:41,141 --> 00:02:43,826
"We have disturbed them."

42
00:02:43,827 --> 00:02:47,938
Gau and Kashe began to slowly walk backward.

43
00:02:47,939 --> 00:02:51,805
But the angry animals charged the group.

44
00:02:51,806 --> 00:02:55,554
"I didn't know rhinos ran so fast!"

45
00:02:55,555 --> 00:02:58,736
cried Vinnie as he ran with the men.

46
00:02:58,737 --> 00:03:01,292
Vinnie's heart was racing too.

47
00:03:01,293 --> 00:03:04,346
Suddenly he heard a scream.

48
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:08,137
"Gau!" shouted Kashe, looking around.

49
00:03:08,138 --> 00:03:10,667
Gau lay on the ground.

50
00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:15,156
A rhino had slashed Gau's leg with his horn.

51
00:03:15,157 --> 00:03:18,765
"We must get him to the village," said Kashe.

52
00:03:18,766 --> 00:03:22,467
"Where are the rhinos?" Vinnie asked.

53
00:03:22,468 --> 00:03:25,476
"They're gone for now," said Kashe.

54
00:03:25,477 --> 00:03:27,346
"Quick, help me."

55
00:03:27,347 --> 00:03:30,417
They carried Gau to the village.

56
00:03:30,418 --> 00:03:34,301
Kashe explained to everyone what had happened.

57
00:03:34,302 --> 00:03:38,221
Gau was placed near a fire in front of one hut.

58
00:03:38,222 --> 00:03:40,608
He was in a lot of pain.

59
00:03:40,609 --> 00:03:44,094
"Call the healer," ordered Kashe.

60
00:03:44,095 --> 00:03:47,666
Frightened, Mandy ran to Vinnie.

61
00:03:47,667 --> 00:03:51,766
"Did he say healer?" gulped Vinnie.

62
00:03:51,767 --> 00:04:01,898
Vinnie remembered the healers from their Iroquois travels.
