This story is about a little deer. As the
story goes, Little Deer was captured by a band
of wolves. She was taken into the woods and
made into a slave. At night, Little Deer slept
outside by the fire. The wolves stayed warm
inside their home. One night little deer woke
up. She had a crazy notion. She would try to
escape, Little Deer found a bow and arrow.

She
sneaked up
to the door,
opened it,
and saw all
the wolves
asleep. She
took the
arrow and
shot one of
the wolves. It was the chief. Little Deer
quickly went back to the fire and covered
herself with ashes. She made believe she was
still asleep. When the rest of the wolves woke
up, they discovered their chief had been
killed. They called Little Deer and said, "Our
brother, our chief, has been shot with an
arrow. Do you know anything about it?" "No, "
said Little Deer, "I don't."
Auku anch'a patashapniya

The wolves
questioned her
some more. But
still she insisted
she knew nothing
about it. She told
her captors, "I'll go
out by the fire and cry for my master. " But
when Little Deer was outside, she did not cry.
Instead, she spoke to some rocks. She told
them, "Now you cry just as if lam crying, and
I will make my escape. " While the rocks were
crying, Little Deer made her escape. It wasn't
long before the wolves went outside and found
out she was gone. Then they realized it was
she who had shot their chief.

So the
wolves took off
and followed
Little Deer's
tracks. After some time, Little Deer came to a
beach. Across the water was land. She
thought, "If only I could get over there, I'd be
safe. " Little Deer began to swim. While she
was in the water, a heavy, thick fog rolled in.
Little Deer could not see where she was going.
She turned around in the fog and headed right
back to where she started from. When she
finally saw land she thought, "Oh, I'm across
now! I'm safe!"
