"The next morning", when the evil spirit flew down to get the last piece of corn, they grabbed its legs and said "we don’t have anymore corn. You can have all the corn you want by flying to the great kernel of popcorn in the sky". The Sun holds up the yellow ball. The evil spirit was so excited, that he turned and flew towards the great kernel of popcorn in the sky, which was the Sun!
As he flew closer to the Sun, his wings of wax melted and the evil spirit disappeared forever.
The clouds were able to rain again and the corn began to grow and grow and grow. The Shawnee princesses had saved the lives of all of their Indian parents and brothers. All of the tribes in the nation applauded the girls to thank them for stopping the evil spirit from attacking their crops too.
