Would you like to hear a story? This story begins in the time when the house shades its shaggy hair. The bird had a very simple life, like any other living creature the creator made.. Except for one the bird was very slow. When it was time to pick the salmon berries for the time of the white Earth, he would not get there in time. Or when the creator had something special to say, he would miss it all.
One moon the bird was very mad because he was so slow. So he thought
and he thought. Then he had the best idea. He would get his dear
friend the Mooz to help him. Mooz was fast and was never late.
So maybe the bird could climb on Mooz's back when he needed to
collect brick bark to help make a canoes or anything else.
The bird went to ask Mooz and he said he didn't mind. So this
plan worked but there was one problem. When the Mooz stopped the
bird went flying, and after a few moons this got a little tired.
So back to the thinking.
Then many moons later the air stared to get cold as a moon on the white Earth. That meant time for a gathering with the creator The bird had no hope of making it to the gathering. So he decided to try to roll all the way to the top of the highest hill. At the gathering the creator gave every animal a wish, before the white Earth. At the end of the gathering the Creator asked where the bird was. Everyone told the creator about the birds worries. The creator was very upset. So he helped the bird to the hill and told him he could have anything he wanted. This was a hard decision. but out of all the things the bird chose some thing that could get him places fast and not a lot of work or pain, the bird wished for wings. And that is how the bird got its wings.
