The King tells him that his adventure was a test and since he was so kind along the way, he is now an official messenger – Big-Hearted Chaski. But just then, his three grateful animal friends soar from the clouds and drop the message into Little Chaski’s hands.
When he finally gets to the temple and the King asks for the khipu, Little Chaski discovers that his ch’uspa is empty. Along the way, he stops to help a chinchilla, a drowning allqu, and a trapped condor. He puts the khipu into his bag, called a ch’uspa. He is to take an important khipu (a knotted rope and thread recording system) to the King. He gets his first mission from Queen Qoya. It is Little Chaski’s first day of delivering royal messages.
