Two Fast Runners: An antelope and a deer met on the prairie.
They talked about how fast they could run and ended up deciding that they would
race. The antelope won and got the deer’s gall, but the deer said it would be a
better race if they raced in the timber. Then they raced in the timber and the
deer won the antelope’s dewclaw. I honestly have no clue what a gall or a
dewclaw is. But I thought this was a cool story. It kind of reminds me of
having home field advantage in sports. Usually people are better on their home
turf where they feel comfortable.
The Buffalo Stone: I really enjoyed this story. It was my
favorite one that I have read so far. It was about a powerful stone and what
they prayed, happened. I liked it because something like a stone is usually
seen as very useless, but in this story it was useful. It shows that even
something as small as a stone can be very important to everyone and everything
else around it.
The Rolling Rock: This is about an old man on a journey. He
first rested on a rock, then gave his robe to the rock and told the rock to
keep it. It started raining and he sent a coyote to go get the robe from the
rock to hide under it. The rock didn’t give it up so the old man went back to
the rock to take it back. The rock almost killed the man and killed many
animals in the valley. Finally some nighthawks saved the man and he made them
queer-looking. This was a very interesting story. He should have just never
given a robe to a rock.
