The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The Drowning of Pecos, sentence 26

At last the bad people falsely accused the old woman, saying that her power was more than that of all the medicine-men put together (which is a very serious charge, even to-day, among the Indians); and challenged her to come before all the people in the medicine-house and perform miracles with them, well knowing that she could not.

Who acts: last bad people, power · What happens: accuse, say, be, put together, challenge, come · To what, where: old woman, medicine men, serious charge, deer, miracles · Speech: someone speaks here
