I myself like the second story, because it judges fairly.
Among all human being, we have bad and good person. It does not relate to the color of skin, the language that speak or the religious that we have.
All human being has emotion, power of thinking, rights of living…..and we should not limit them because they are not the same as we are.
In the first story the write wants to say that Indians are uncivilized and wild,thif like(…he was sure that Indians stole the horses.)but in the second one he wants to say that they are civilized ,kind….like(….when Indians among themselves they talk about their adventures in the war and hunting).
