On the cover:

Now then,
you will all dig for roots-
They are already getting ripe.
Let us climb sugar pines!
We shall move out at dawn.
You will set up camp.

Now then,
I shall go climbing for pine nuts-
all the people will move out there.
We shall all set up camp there.
There is a good spring.
Perhaps others will be arriving too.
We shall wait for them, what do you say?

Now then,
Let us climb for them.
Bring food along!

Now then,
some of you will dig for tiger lilies.

Now then,
gather food for winter!
You women will probably want to dig instead of climb.
If you should succeed in this-
well then, we will all get winter food.
