Read the following excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko's story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds."
"We found him under a cottonwood tree in the big arroyo near sheep camp. I guess he sat down to rest in the shade
and never got up again." Leon walked toward the old man's bed. The red plaid shawl had been shaken and spread
carefully over the bed, and a new brown flannel shirt and pair of stiff new Levi's were arranged neatly beside the
pillow. Louise held the screen door open while Leon and Ken carried in the red blanket. He looked small and
shriveled, and after they dressed him in the new shirt and pants he seemed more shrunken.
