Wild Lily and Hula spent some time with Hula's family. Hula met his mum and dad, his aunt and uncles, and his grandfather. He learned how to pull a sledge with his brothers and sisters. At night he lay together with his family. Wild Lily learned how to hunt, prepare food and make clothes. At night she sat in the tent and listened to stories and sang songs. But soon it was time to go home. Wild Lily took her bag. She put a lot of things in it: meat that she had caught and prepared, her blanket, and clothes that she had made. They said goodbye to Hula's family and left.
