Read the following excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko's story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds."
"We found him under a cottonwood tree in the big arroyo near sheep camp. I guess he sat down to rest in the shade
and never got up again." Leon walked toward the old man's bed. The red plaid shawl had been shaken and spread
carefully over the bed, and a new brown flannel shirt and pair of stiff new Levi's were arranged neatly beside the
pillow. Louise held the screen door open while Leon and Ken carried in the red blanket. He looked small and
shriveled, and after they dressed him in the new shirt and pants he seemed more shrunken.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
