Then he slowly, slowly, slowly wrapped his leggings around one leg. " Then he slowly, slowly, slowly wrapped his leggings around his other leg. And as he did so, the sky began to show the first glow of dawn. Then he stood up. His eyes were bright and he smiled. " And as Morning Star spoke, the light of dawn struck the Chibai and killed it.
