Why There Is A Bear Up In The Stars
I am from the Abenaki tribe in Northeast
new England and I'm going to tell you
about a very greedy bear.
One day I was walking through the mainland farest where I am from
and saw a bear like the ones we hunt for food walking through
the farest too. He looked hungry, so he went to the stream to
get fish like my tribe goes to the stream to get fish. A fish
jumped he tried to get it with his puny claws but could not. So
he asked the great separate like we ask the great separates for
some long claws to fish. The spirit granted his wish. The bear
tried again and sixseated and got as many fish as my tribe can
get with a net. He went to eat it. We dry are fish before we eat
it. The bear went through golden metos the coler of honey to his
rubbing tree. It was worn down and it was his favorite one in
the world he thought why don't I ask for new bark on the tree.
He did and the great separate granted his wish. He did and the
great separate granted his wish. He rubbed him self against a
Burt tree. aWe use Burt trees for a lot of things. He went back
to his cave because it was getting dark. He got to his cave, it
was very small so he asked for a bigger place to live. The great
spirit was fed up with giving him all these wishes, but he still
gave him his wish. For a bigger place to live. Do you want to
now where that is? Up in the stars of the sky and on any night
you can see the very selfish bear my tribe uses the stars to see
are friends the French man. The moral to this story is never ask
for to much at once, that you do not need.
