Once they had finished breakfast, they decided to have a game. He had played a game called something, he didn't knew what it was called. He also had to give away his shirt, his only shirt; but after that his eye was swollen, and his bruises hurt. Once he dunked his head in the river, he felt very relaxed. Until he came out, Attean was holding out his shirt, Matt put it back on. He trotted back to his cabin. Once he got there there was something waiting for him, it was a porcupine. It never bit him or anything. It just sat there. A few days later Attean came, he was holding something in his hands, it was snow shoes from Attean's grandmother.
