The Forgotten Ear of Corn
An Arikara woman was once gathering corn from the field to store away for winter use. She passed from stalk to stalk, tearing off the ears and dropping them into her folded robe. When all was gathered she started to go, when she heard a faint voice, like a child's, weeping and calling:
"Oh, do not leave me! Do not go away without me."
The woman was astonished. "What child can that be?" she asked herself. "What babe can be lost in the cornfield?"
She set down her robe in which she had tied up her corn, and went back to search; but she found nothing.
As she started away she heard the voice again:
"Oh, do not leave me. Do not go away without me."
She searched for a long time. At last in one corner of the field, hidden under the leaves of the stalks, she found one little ear of corn. This it was that had been crying, and this is why all Indian women have since garnered their corn crop very carefully, so that the succulent food product should not even to the last small nubbin be neglected or wasted, and thus displease the Great Mystery.

11. They are very excited that they now have food. They would use it at feasts and meals, and sometimes would carry it to the warpath for the warriors to eat after and before battle because they would not always have food to eat.
12. They didn't know if the sun was male or female and were not sure to name a male or female name. However, the badger came out and said "The sun being a man, comes out of a hole in the earth as I do" and so they finally knew what his name. They wanted to thank the badger but before they could catch up to him he was deep into his hole and would not come out, for he was scared they would hurt him.

Q11: They are thankful that the great spirit sent them a bountiful and successful crop harvest.
Q12: The problem in the story is The Surem couldn't figure out a name for the sun, nor if it was male or female. The badger came to the council, and I quote; "The sun being a man, comes out of a hole in the earth as I do", solving the problem in the story.
