As it turned out, «Sharp Fire» gathered underripe fruits of sour gooseberries, overripe currants and rotten strawberries. The giant forgave the red man, realizing that he simply did not know when and what berries should be picked. After that, the great Giant began to hang out a leaflet at her entrance. On it the wise Giant wrote:

The Great Giant will generously reward any Redskin for the following:

– if someone picks up a full can of raspberries – white snow from the refrigerator in a waffle cone

– if someone picks up a full can of currants – any drink of your choice

And even for some reason they hung out a photo of Hanukkah with the caption:

– Wanted, especially dangerous!

«Sharp Fire» quickly collected everything on the list and was generously rewarded. The next day, an Indian ran to the door, but nothing was written there. Thinking that the mission was valid, «Sharp Fire» again picked the berries, but received nothing. The giant was furious again. As it turned out, the berries were ripe, but that day no one wanted to make jam.
