morning, noon
For we were the law , all of us , and no man was greater than the law . `` Then there were other troubles , for know , O Deer-Runner , and Yellow-Head , and Afraid-of-the-Dark , that it is not easy to make a tribe . There were many things , little things , that it was a great trouble to call all the men together to have a council about . We were having councils morning , noon , and night , and in the middle of the night . We could find little time to go out and get food , because of the councils , for there was always some little thing to be settled , such as naming two new watchers to take the place of the old ones on the hill , or naming how much food should fall to the share of the men who kept their weapons always in their hands and got no food for themselves . `` We stood in need of a chief man to do these things , who would be the voice of the council , and who would account to the council for the things he did . So we named Fith-Fith the chief man .
