has not yet had time to tie herself into a large round head of cabbage»!
– «So, next time you pass by her, carefully examine the leaves», – Mamuka said.
– «What is this for»? – the dog asked in surprise.
– «Now you will find out! Listen to me carefully», – said the future leader of the Redskins.
– «Only you read louder, sometimes I don’t hear your words», – Hanukkah complained to Mamuka and put his muzzle with a damp black nose on his paws.
A wet nose in dogs means healthy, but in a red-skinned person, on the contrary, a wet nose, it’s time to go to Giant. For them to heal you.
There are a lot of berries growing in Komaria, but you must also remember about vegetables. We have already dealt with ants and passed the first initiation into the Indians. To be called a leader, you need to go through many tests and rituals, as well as complete all tasks, this is the only way to comprehend the wisdom of the Mamuka tribe.
Once the «Eagle Eye» Indian passed a test with ants and saw several insects dragging a green caterpillar on them. She wriggled and wanted to break free, but was again captured. The wise leader overseeing the test asked the «Eagle Eye»:
– «Where are you looking»?
To which the Indian replied: – I see how the ants carry the caterpillar.
At that moment, the ant, crawling on the hand of the red-skinned man, clenched its mandibles, and the initiate cried out in pain.
– «You have failed the test, but for your vigilance now you will be called «Eagle Eye».
The ability to give nicknames to the Indians of the tribe is a hallmark of the leader. The main thing to understand is that the nickname is given once and is not disputed by other Indians. It is very important to highlight the best side of the red man.
For example: «Eagle Eye» saw a caterpillar in the distance, which means he has excellent eyesight. The Indians love their planet, so you should call the red skin, comparing it to nature. Sometimes an exception should be made. An Indian of short stature may receive the nickname «Growing Rock», simply for the reason that sooner or later the Redskin will grow up and, thanks to the words of the leader, will have the growth of a Giant.
The wisdom of the leader lies in the fact that he knows how to choose the right words and get rid of disputes in his tribe. An offensive nickname can affect the fate of the Indian in the future. It got to the point that one red man was offended and no longer came to the tribe. He became a loner. Nevertheless, the Indians continued to respect him, but the red man did not want to communicate. He was so offended by others.
– «I, too, sometimes take offense and can even bite»! – said Hanukkah.
– «That is why, when I go to the tribe, I don’t take you with me», – Mamuka replied.
– «It’s not my fault that it’s easy to offend me», – the dog sighed in response.
– «Yes! Yes! What if you bite someone, and they just wanted to stroke you! Okay, listen further», – say Mamuka.
The most important thing for a leader is not to choose a nickname. As it will be called in the company, so it will be called. The main quality in this situation is easy to treat yourself with humor and understand that the main person in the Indian tribe is a non-violent, intelligent and reasonable person. A little time will pass and the leader himself will give nicknames, and at his own discretion. And when the Indian tribe is replenished, at a large meeting it will be possible to rename itself. If in Giantania Mamuka was nicknamed – «The Leader of the Redskins», then in Komaria he can be called differently. The inhabitants of Giant often have poor imaginations and cannot come up with anything. Therefore, you should not take offense at them.
After the «Eagle Eye» Indian got his nickname, Mamuka approached the caterpillar.
Long ago, Yungani talked about a meadow with butterflies. According to legend, a real beautiful creature grows out of a caterpillar. Shaman Yungani caught them with a cage, and then it tore. There were no threads to sew next, but there was an empty jar. Yungani quickly realized that instead of catching butterflies, he could collect caterpillars from cabbage leaves. After all, they eat up the crop and harm the plant. And when they are full, they become a butterfly and fly away wherever they want.
– «I’m catching two rabbits»! – Yungani said and collected all the caterpillars in a jar.
The shaman did not think that these green creatures eat so much. I had to repeatedly wash the jar until the caterpillars turned into butterflies. Gianniya made a promise to the shaman that if Yungani saved the crop from pests, a real Indian dwelling would be built for him.
Giants are very cunning people. Sometimes they can promise something and forget their words. But Yungani fulfilled his promise and Giants, reluctantly built him a real tipi. This is an Indian dwelling, you will learn how to build it from this book. Read carefully so as not to miss the building instructions. Now let’s move on to our next assignment. If you have not completed the previous ones, I strongly recommend that you complete them, otherwise much will not work.
Quest from Mamuka: Tracking the caterpillars
Take a close look at your map. Go where the cabbage grows. Look closely at the leaves of all cabbage plants. If you notice something strange, for example a bunch of small yellow bubbles, then you should know that soon caterpillars will appear from there. If they have turned black, then there are several hours left before they go out. It is best to collect adult caterpillars and still need to be fed. We’ll have to clean up after them, cleaning the jar. Caterpillars feed on leaves: radish, cabbage, beetroot, turnip, shepherd’s purse, hoofed fish, green garlic and onion sprouts.
It is best to harvest the caterpillars in early summer. Then you can get a whole jar of butterflies closer to autumn. You will need a new glass jar, of course. I do not advise taking a huge one. It is better to perforate the lid. Ask any Giant about it and show this line:
«Mamuka, the leader of the Redskins, asks the Giant to borrow a glass jar. A certain Indian will return it in the month of October. Under the strictest responsibility of one of the Redskins of the Mamuka tribe».
You can pick up the tracks with your bare hands. You passed the ant bite, now you have nothing to fear. When going around the leaves of cabbage, radish, beets and turnips, always take a jar with you in case you suddenly come across a caterpillar. Feel free to take it and place it in your storage for caterpillars. Be sure to throw in a few radish leaves. Pull the plant out in cold blood, wash and eat its ripe red root. Then throw the green appendage into the jar with the caught caterpillars. Since you will frequently replenish the «Komaria Bank», the can with caterpillars will be under your strict supervision. Remember: if you leave for a long time and leave the jar unattended, you can destroy the caterpillars.
Be smart: lend the bank to someone you can trust. Thus, you will check your friend.

– «Hanukkah, have you seen strange small creatures instead of caterpillars»? – asked Mamuka.
– «Yes,
