"In the old days when a person got ready to be
told a story, from the time the storyteller started no one there ever stopped to eat or sleep. They kept telling the
story straight through till it was finished. Then when the story was through, the medicine man would tell all about the
different medicines. There would be a basket of corn seeds there, and for each line that was spoken, that person who was
listening would count out one corn seed. This way there would be sometimes two hundred corn seeds. Then that person
would have to eat them all. If he could eat them, then he would remember all the words he had been told. If you fell
asleep during this time, then the story was broken and was not good. That's the way we used to do."
