And some of the tribe questioned Ith about the still thing that was like a man, and Ith said, "This is Ged." AND SOME OF THE TRIBE QUESTIONED IT ABOUT THE STILL THING THAT WAS LIKE A MAN AND IT SAID THIS IS DEAD
 not look at men. But soon Ith saw that it was only a tree and not a man, though it was like a man. Ith used to speak to this tree, and tell it about Lod, for he dared not speak to any one else about him. And Ith found comfort in speaking about Lod. One day Ith went with his stone axe into the forest, and stayed there many days. He came back by night, and the next morning when the tribe awoke they saw something that was like a man and yet was not a man. And it sat on the hill with its elbows pointing outwards and was quite still. And Ith was crouching before it, and hurriedly placing before it fruits and flesh, and then leaping away from it and looking frightened. Presently all the tribe came out to see, but dared not come quite close because of the fear that they saw on the face of Ith. And Ith went to his hut, and came back again with a hunting spear-head and valuable small stone knives, and reached out and laid them before the thing that was like a man, and then sprang away from it.
