When she was finished making a jar, it became the most beautiful jar she had ever seen. until the leader of their tribe said that thew whites said that they can do nothing good, illiterate. so the children will study the white men ways. their leader encouraged everyone to make something (whether it's a food or item, etc.) good w/c will be a proof that they were not illiterate. until the whites came, it was like a fair. tassai hurriedly get the blanket where her jar was wrapped. in their town, she opened it and the crowd laugh because she mistakenly get the wrong blanket. that one contains a doll, not a jar. she ran through their house w/o knowing that a white man's daughter followed her. that girl was just near their door, when a rattlesnake appear & was about to victimize the girl. tassai saw it & choose to throw her jar to the rattle snake to save the girl. white men came to their house & thank her for what she did. even though the girl's father can't give her the prize (because her jar broke into pieces), he just said he would grant her anything tassai wished. tassai don't need anything. she just asked the white man: "do we have to go far out to know be like white men?" the white man said that they will send teachers who will teach them.
