start the last leg of his journey to his homestead. He was looking forward to getting started on the property and to getting settled. It had taken him much longer than he had originally planned, but he had learned some very valuable information while he had been at the fort. The old man not only taught him how to live in the wilderness that he would be in, but also how to converse with the local Indians and some of their culture and ways. It would take him another three days of riding to get to his homestead site, so a couple days before he was due to leave Fort Laramie, he stopped by the trading post to pick up some more last minute supplies. "Hello," Travis said as he entered the shop. She just smiled at him as she stood behind the counter. He walked up to the counter and smiled back. Travis looked around for a moment "Is he here?" he whispered. "No, he no here. But he be back soon," she said, with sad eyes. "I need to get some supplies," he said, taking out a piece of paper with a list of what he needed on it. He handed the list to the girl and she looked at it, as if it was written in Egyptian hieroglyphics! "I can no read," she said, giving the paper back to him. "I will read it then, and you can get what I need," he said. Little Deer smiled and nodded. "First, I will need..." and he started reading the items on his list. As he read them off, she would get what he said and bring it up to the counter. He would look over the items and make sure they were correct and move ... on to the next thing. On occasion she would turn back to him and catch him watching her - he could hardly help himself. She was beautiful and graceful in her movements. It had been a long, long time since he had seen anything to compare to her. He was fascinated by how she carried herself. "Now I need a good pair of boots. But I'm not sure what size," he said, "Can you help me find a pair that fits?" "Yes. I know how," she said. She got a measuring stick from under the counter and walked around the end of the counter to stand next to him. She was considerably shorter than his 6' tall stature but she placed the stick on the floor and made him stand with his foot on it, measuring the length of his foot. "Size 11," she said, and went to go get the stepladder to retrieve the boots, which were on a high shelf. As she cautiously climbed the shaky ladder, Travis came over to help steady it. She had to stretch to reach the boots, even with the ladder, and just as she got a grip on them, her foot slipped and she fell. Travis saw her start to fall and was able to catch her. She dropped the boots as she fell and they landed a few feet away. But Travis caught Little Deer before she fell to the floor. "Thank you," she said, smiling and blushing (yes even an Indian girl can blush!) as he let her down gently. Once she had composed herself again, she went back to getting what he needed to finish his list. Once his list was finished and he had gotten everything he needed, he loaded it up on ...
