Exercise-1:
This shining water that moves in streams
(32) and rivers is not just water but the blood of our ancestors (33).
If we sell you land, you must remember that it is the sacred (34)
blood of our ancestors. If we sell you land, you must remember that it is
sacred, and you must teach your children that it is sacred and that each
ghostly reflection in the clear water of the lakes tells of events in the life
of my people. The water’s marmur (35) is the voice of my father's
father (36).

tree, the man - they all share the same breathe (34). The white
man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dyeing (35)

we know, which the white man may one day discover - our God is the same God.
You may think now that you own Him (34) as you wish to own our
land, but you cannot. He is the God of man, and His compation (35)
is equal for the red man and the person having origins in any of the

Earth is precious to Him, and to harm the Earth is to heap contempt on its
Creator.
