[Birds of Feather]
A long time ago, the Raven looked down from the sky
and saw that the people of the world were living in
darkness. The ball of light was kept hidden by a selfish
old chief. So the Raven turned himself into a spruce
needle, and floated on the river where the chief's
daughter came for water. She drank the spruce needle.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy,
who was the Raven in disguise.
The baby cried and cried until the chief gave
him the ball of light to play with. As soon as he had the
light, the Raven turned back into himself. The Raven
carried the light into the sky. From then on, we no
longer lived in darkness.
