He met someone who he had never seen before. They both stopped, and Sendeh greeted him. He said, &#8220;I do not know you, but I think I have heard of you. You are the man who cheats everybody.&#8221; Sendeh answered, &#8220;Yes, I am he who cheats, but I have left my Medicine at home, about four hills away. So I cannot cheat you.&#8221; The man said, &#8220;That makes no difference. If you are the one who cheats, you can cheat me without your Medicine.&#8221; I cannot cheat you without my Medicine, I wish I had it, I would cheat you.&#8221; Sendeh said to the soldier, &#8220;If you want me to cheat you, loan me your horse and I will go and get my Medicine and come back and cheat you.&#8221; So the soldier said, &#8220;All right, I will loan you my horse, but you must come right back with your Medicine.&#8221; So Sendeh got on the horse. As he rode off he secretly punched him so he balked. Sendeh said, &#8220;This horse won&#8217;t go. Maybe he is afraid of me. Loan me your hat.&#8221; The soldier gave him the hat. Sendeh punched him again, the horse balked. &#8220;This horse is afraid of me. Lend me your coat.&#8221; Sendeh got on the horse. He punched him secretly again and turned back and told the soldier he might as well let him have his blanket. &#8220;I think it would be well to give me your quirt.&#8221; &#8220;All right, here is the quirt, too. Make haste, get your Medicine and come back and show me you can cheat me.&#8221; The horse went forward. Sendeh looked back and said, &#8220;Soldier, I have already cheated you. I have all your things. I have no Medicine. Now you go on your way, and I will go mine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Go Back To:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/straightarrow.org\/stories\/indigenous-stories\/kiowa-nation\/\">Kiowa Nation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sendeh was going along.
