Always the evening before a buffalo hunt and when everyone was usually in Upis, an old man went around calling quietly, "I-ni-la, l-ni-la." "Keep quiet." "Keep quiet." The village people knew that the scouts had come in and reported buffalo near, and they must all keep the camp in stillness. Which can reasonably be concluded from this passage?
1. The old man was concerned for the safety of the buffalo.
2. Everyone was asleep, and they couldn't hear the old man.
3. Everyone always went to sleep when it was quiet.
4. The people didn't want to frighten the buffalo away before the hunt.
