[edit] Summary
Lucy, Connie, and Eugene think Whit's life is in danger when a medicine man visits town and places a curse on him!
[edit] Plot
Whit and Eugene have been hard at work preparing for a new addition to Whit's End: a microwave satellite dish that will beam Kid's Radio programs to Connelsville. They both have errands to run, leaving Connie and Lucy to manage Whit's End. Lucy is looking for an interesting news article to write. She doesn’t have long to wait, for as soon as Whit and Eugene leave, in walks one of the most unusual characters ever to come into Whit’s End. He’s an Indian chief, complete with war paint, a blanket, leather clothing, and moccasins. He asks who the owner of the building is. When Connie tells him, he puts an ancient curse on Whit for defiling the lands of his ancestors!
Connie and Lucy don’t believe any of this will happen. But the Indian tells them that when the signs start coming true, they will believe. The girls want to know what signs the chief is talking about, so he tells them: “Flying horses made of rock. Water that is not traveling up. Forest comes to building.” They think the whole thing is bizarre and are about to dismiss it, until the signs start happening! Connie, Lucy, and even Eugene start believing in the Indian’s nonsense. They are especially afraid since the culmination of the curse is Whit’s death!
When Whit returns, he calms their fears, though. He reveals that the medicine man is really a con man. The “Indian” works at a radio station in Connelsville, he’s merely trying to scare Whit out of putting up the microwave satellite dish.
