Chapter 3

Thirty Scalps

Before Omri went to sleep, he wanted to know if the magic of the cupboard and key could work on wood and metal, so he did an experiment by putting a plastic Indian tent and a matchbox car and then dozed off. He was woken by Little Bear, Omri opened the cupboard to only plastic items and figures work with the magic and decided to let Little Bear down on the floor. The Indian tells Omri about him and his clan fight with the English against the French and he had taken thirty scalps which horrified Omri. He went down to get Little Bear some meat and as he did so, he realized two things: 

1. Little Bear wasn't just a mere toy come to life, but was a real person.
2. He might be still alive in his time and Omri had magicked him out from the past.

Omri also knew if he told anyone about his secret, they would take away Little Bear and the cupboard.  He went back upstairs, gave the Indian his meal and asked what else he wanted like:

1. Bow and arrows
2. Other weapons
3. A horse

Little Bear asked for a horse, so Omri brought one to life and the Indian manged to tame it.
