Fireball's Heart

 "I don't believe that your people tell the truth all the time," laughs Stronge Buffalo. "And I don't believe that Dark Eyes never tells lies! Let's have a test. Let's meet again in a week's time. If Dark Eyes tells a lie during the week, you give me half of your tribe's horses. If he tells the truth, I give you half of my horses!"


I read Fireball's Heart. This book is in the Helbling Readers series. In this book, there are two tribes. In one tribe, it is said that people always tell the truth. Do people really tell the truth? One day Dark Eyes met a girl, Blue Feather. They eat and tell each other stories. They like each other. When Dark Eyes get closer, Blue Feather is crying. She is very ill. She told him the heart of the best horse on the prairie is needed. And she must eat it in order to get better. He thought he can't kill the horse because he likes the horse very much, but he likes her too and wanted to help her. He decided to kill the horse and help her. He didn't wanted her to die. He has to say to Wise Owl that he killed the horse, but it's not easy. Does Dark Eyes tell the truth? Please check the end of this book!
