There followed a great feast and celebration, because from this time on they were able to settle and store their food and were able to wait until the hunting animals returned rather than having to follow them.

At this most magic time, Mud and Red Deer finally returned and the celebration grew ecstatically joyous. Mud grinned and said:

"So, my people, and especially; my (amazingly beautiful!) grandchildren Orca and Ren, have discovered the gift of the Firebird! This has changed human history. As for Red Deer and I, we have had many great adventures and discovered much about the world much that will be useful to us for our whole lives, but these are other stories and can wait."
