The narrator tells about her little adventure. While wandering along the river she met a stranger and had spent a night with him on the bank of the river. Next morning they woke up and the stranger said that she would go with him to his place. She understood that she was kidnapped like in those old stories about spirits, who lived in the mountains and kidnapped women. There was a legend about a spirit called ka'tsina and a Yellow Woman. The spirit had kidnapped her, and in some time she came home with two twin babies. The stranger continued to call her Yellow Woman, but she said that she was not her, and that he himself was a simple man called Silva. He only smiled to these words. They continued their way to the stranger’s place.
In his small store house she fried potatoes and they had a dinner. They spent one more night together. When the woman woke up in the morning Silva was not in the house. She came out and looked at the mountains and thought about her family – they must be very worried about her as nothing like this happened with her before. She was walking between the pine trees and decided to go home at once, but she felt that the stranger has a power over her, and not knowing why he returned. There she found him washing his hands from blood of a cattle. He said that they would go to sell meat in Marquez. They saddled the horses and began their journey.
They came down from the mountains. There appeared a white man on the horse on their way. At first he did not see them, but when saw and noticed the sacks hanging from the horse he told them to stop. He asked where did they get the meat, Silva said he had been hunting, but the white man did not believe, he said they there was a thief. He ordered Silva and the woman to follow him but he was frightened as he was unarmed, and when Silva told the woman to turn around and go away the white man became very angry. The woman did as Silva said, and went away without looking back.
The woman found her village in safety and entered her house the moment her mother was cooking the dinner and her husband taking care of their child. The woman decided to tell them she was kidnapped by a Navajo and felt sorry her grandfather wasn't there to hear it.
