The Son of the Eagle: It has been raining heavily for days. The Sioux sit in their tipis, waiting for the storm to pass. The shaman tells the legend of how the Sioux came into the world in their battle against the water demon. Suddenly, Yakari collapses; he has a high fever and begins to hallucinate.

Yakari and the Giant Wolverine: It is deep winter, food supplies are scarce, and the Sioux tribe is relieved when Yakari's father, Bold Gaze, returns home with a slain elk. However, Bold Gaze reports that this hunt was no heroic feat. The animal had charged directly at him in panic, as if it were being chased. The next morning, the new meat supplies are stolen.

Yakari and the Horse Thieves: Yakari, Little Badger, and Rainbow are out with their ponies when suddenly two Iroquois appear, claiming that Big Gray, Rainbow's pony, belongs to them. This is, of course, completely untrue. It was Little Thunder who brought the injured pony to the Sioux some time ago. There, Big Gray was nursed back to health and has stayed with the tribe.

Yakari and Great Eagle: Yakari and his friend Little Badger would love to join the hunters of their Sioux tribe to catch wild horses, especially since today they have their sights set on the wildest and most beautiful of them all: Little Thunder. Sharp Arrow almost manages to catch Little Thunder with his lasso, but the horse is too clever and escapes.
