A Legend

THE THREE BROTHERS

BY AUSTIN (LITTLE THUNDERBOLT) AND FREDDIE (SWIMS LIKE TADPOLE)

One day long ago three brothers were born. THEY DIED. THEY BECAME THE SPIRITS OF THE SUN, THE SPIRIT OF AIR, AND THE SPIRIT OF SOIL. A THOUSAND YEARS LATER, , THE HOPI VILLAGE HAD AN UNSTOPPABLE DROUGHT. IT LASTED FOR MANY SUNS AND MOONS. THEIR CORN STOPPED GROWING. MANY PEOPLE DIED FROM HUNGER.
THREE MORE BROTHERS WERE BORN. THEIR NAMES WERE SUNSET BOY, BIRD BOY, AND SOIL BOY. EIGHT YEARS LATER, THEY STILL HAD THE DROUGHT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, THE THREE BOYS HAD A DREAM. IN THE DREAM THE SPIRITS SAID, "COME TO US, AND WE WILL HELP YOU."
THEY WENT TO THE LAND OF THE CLOUDS, THE LAND OF THE SOIL, AND THE LAND OF THE SKY. TWO WEEKS LATER, THEY EACH CAME BACK WITH SOMETHING. SUNSET BOY CAME BACK WITH SUNLIGHT. BIRD BOY CAME BACK WITH AIR. SOIL BOY CAME BACK WITH SOIL. THEY BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO THE CORN, AND IT STARTED GROWING AGAIN. THE DROUGHT ALSO STOPPED. THE PEOPLE REJOICED AND THANKED THE BROTHERS .
