• Retold by

2

• A long long time ago, there was a forest on
  the Indians land. There was a hunter called
  Little Water and he could talk to animals.

3

• In the Winter he went to the forest to hang out
  with the animals.

4

• He went back to the tribe in time for the
  harvest. When he got back, he met the Medicine
  Man. The Medicine Man said, Little Water, why
  isn't any one doing the harvest? There is a
  sickness. Do you want me to do the harvest?
  replied Little Water. No go get a cure from the
  animals.

• Little Water went to the forest to tell the
  animals, but it was lightning so he could not
  see. He fell unconscious. Wolf saw him and called
  the others.

6

• The others thought that Little Water did
  everything, so they made dream. Deer was first
  and said, My antlers give you life. Bear said,
  My claw gives you strength. Hawk said, My
  feather gives peace. Turtle said, My shell
  gives you music. Otter said, My skin gives you
  a medicine bag. Wolf said, You will hear me
  sing to mother moon.

7

• Little Water went back to the city and shared the
  news. Happy ever after.
