English Transtotipp;
Page 1: This is the story of
Bear and Crane. Long, long
ago, the Creator made the
world. He made all the ani
mals and birds. He made
Bear who sleeps all winter.
Page 2: Then he made Crane, who is always standing around
in the streams, lakes and rivers.
Page 3: Bear was a fisherman. He was a good fisherman
because he caught lots of fish and he always had lots. So he
shared his fish with Crane. Bear caught all of Crane's fish.
Page 4: One day, Bear said to Crane, "You come over to my
place for a special dinner." Then bear dug a lot of clams, he
wanted to share some clams with Crane.
Page 5: When Crane got to Bear's place, Bear was already
cooking. Crane sat and watched Bear cook.
Page 6: To cook the clams, bear put a clam between his paws
and warmed it over the fire.
Page 7: Crane got hungry as he saw Bear's paws all full of fat,
it looked so good.. .just like Salmon grease. Bear's fat dripped
down from his paws into the fir. Crane got hunrier and
hungrier. It smelled so good.
Page 8: When Bear had cooked all the clams, they ate and ate
and ate until they were full. It was such a good meal.
Page 9: Everyday Bear went fishing and as he caught fish, he
shared them with Crane.
Page 10: As Cranes do today, Crane ate the fish raw. "It isn't
as good as cooked clams." he said to himself. He thought,
"Boy, I really enjoyed those clams Bear cooked over the fire. I
can still see the fat dripping onto the fire. It smelled so good."
Page 11: Then he said to himself, "I bet I can cook as well as
bear, or even better. It looks easy. I know I can. I'll do it
tonight." Crane invited Bear to come to his house for dinner.
He told him, "We'll eat clams."
Page 12: When Bear went to Crane's place, Crane was al
ready cooking over a hot fire he had fixed just right. He was
roasting the clams. Crane was doing it just like bear, but there
was no fat dipping from his bony legs because his legs were
too skinny and they had no fat.
Page 13: So that's why you see Bear sleeping with his paws
tucked under him...his paws are still warm.
Page 14: And that's why you see Crane standing in the lakes
or rivers, or streams, always standing in the water on one leg.
He is cooling his bony legs and burnt feet.

"COYOTE AND THE STARS"
A long time ago
Ka onosoo
the wolf made the
earth
Osoo Esa ka
teepu
matabuepu
to tut?
I! fJl '...r-'i
afterwards he
started to place the
stars in the sky
which he kept in a bag
Obenakwa osoo ooka ummu patoosooba ka
koomebanaga matapu'e ooka mago'o wi pu
tsakwunu.
Coyote came along,
and asked what he
was doing and wanted
to
Osoo Edza'a oonow
kemowgese, yise,
Hemma u hane?
Me'e oo
tubenguose, yise,
see what was in the bag.
Ooka oo mago'o witu nepopnewunu.
The wolf told Coyote "Don't look into the
bag".
Osoo Esa Ka Edza'a meo "Ki maka
mago'o witu poonepana".
The wolf was very tired
from his work
Osoo Esa u'nutse'e
kunumma ka un'u
woakuse
so he lied down to
sleep.
Oonow habes'e
u'uweka.
The coyote still went ahead and looked inside the
bag.
Osoo Edza'a ooneoyoopana ka mago'o witu
poo'ne.
Out! Went the stars!
Ku'owka! Ummu patoosooba
When the wolf woke up he told the coyote..
Osoo Esa ka tuboonese meo ka Edza'a
nema'e
What have you done?
Ha'o tu'wa u mani?
"Now that you've let the
stars out of the bag
"Yise u ka ummu
patoosooba tsakuase
maka mago'o wikoo
everytime that you look up
into the sky
nonotse u koomeba tametu pooneyina
You will feel sad.
U tu'tu'ha numayikwe
So everytime the the coyote looks into the sky
O dyise nonotse osoo Edza'a ka koomeba
tametu pooneyina
he cries, because he knew it
was wrong to look into the
bag.
Yaga'yakwe, Osoo bena
oo sopedakwatoo osoo ki
to'ge mane ooka mago'o
witu to'mohabuse.
