That night, Omri and Patrick, along with Little Bear and Boone, watch a program on TV that shows a relentless slaughter of Apaches by cowboys. Boone and Little Bear are initially hostile toward one another, but are forced to behave themselves when Omri and Patrick bring them to school. Omri's shocked reaction causes Little Bear to realize that Omri really is a child, and not a spirit.Įventually, Omri reveals his secret to Patrick, who immediately wants to bring to life a toy of his own, which becomes a cowboy from 1879 called "Boohoo" Boone. When Omri brings to life another Native American figure (resembling a Mohawk chieftain), saying Little Bear can have the chieftain's longbow, the chieftain suffers a heart attack out of fear after looking at Omri. Omri also learns that Little Bear is a widower. During Little Bear's stay with Omri, Omri learns a lot about the Iroquois, and the two develop a friendship. The next day, the living toy eventually reveals himself as an English-speaking, 18th-century Iroquois (specifically Onondaga ) man named Little Bear ( Litefoot) who was fighting in the French and Indian War on the side of the British. Omri closes and locks the cupboard and decides to keep it a secret.

Frightened by Omri's size, the tiny man pulls out a dagger and points it at Omri. The next morning, he hears a small tapping noise coming from the cupboard, and finds that the toy has magically come to life.


Omri finds a special key and locks the toy in the cupboard. On his ninth birthday, Omri receives an old cupboard from his brother and a toy American Indian from his best friend Patrick.
