Hakoda addressed the crowd of men standing around him, "There will be a series of challenges. The first will be a test with traditional weapons of our tribe. It will take place at high noon, by the black river." Hakoda looked at all the faces and noticed that Sokka was the youngest among them.
At the river some of the younger men began to get antsy. Hakoda noticed that Sokka was standing off on his own watching the commotion.
Everyone had their turn taking one throw with a boomerang at the targets (painted ice mounds). Hakoda had to give it to the man. Sokka was by far the best, took out twelve targets. Although, his method was a little unconventional.
Sokka took a deep breath. He had to make his dad proud, "Aaaggghhhh!" He slipped on the ice, fell on his butt, boomerang flying out of his hands only to hit twelve targets?!
"We have a winner!" His father boomed.
