Have you wonder how stories came about ? How storytellers had the idea to share his stories to young children or even older ones ? Yes, i do wonder too. Let me share you a legend from Native America. There was once a man whose name is Crow, who lived at the very end of the Seneca village. No villagers wanted to approach me nor saying good things about him. They were very cruel towards him. Crow's appeal was very untidy. His hair is always untangled and his clothes were old. Crow's parents died many years ago and hence, no one took care for him.
During that time, stories never existed because none of the villagers did not share any. One day, when Crow was resting on a stone, he heard a deep rumbling voice. He was shocked but he did no bother to know where the voice come from. Once again, he head the voice again. He gave up and looked around to know where did the voice came from. He was surprised the voice came from the stone that he rested. The stone then introduced himself and tell Crow what is a story and then, with Crow's permission, he told him stories. Unless, Crow gave the birds that he had hunt.
Since that day, Crow begun to listen more of stories. But one day, the stone had told Crow enough of stories and told him to share the stories that he know to the whole village and the villagers will share the stories to the next generation and so on. Crow did it.
The villagers were satisfied of his stories and gave him clothes and food as a reward. One day, when Crow was sharing his stories, a young woman sat next to him. She always do. Crow stayed at the village and he married the young woman.His stories were then shared to the next generation. Till today, stories were still exist.
- I really like the story because it makes me wonder everytime if the legend is non-fiction. It is kind of logic 'thing', isnt?
2. Why owls stare
It began when Owl and Pigeon who always boast around about their strentgth and more. When one day, owl told pigeon that there are more owls than pigeons, but pigeon dissagree. They made an agreement who would won in counting at the Big Woods. Pigeon told owl that he needs one week to tell the whole pigeons, meanwhile Owl told pigeon that he needs two weeks to tell the Owls. Pigeon disagree to it and told owl that anyone who is late would not be counted.
Owl agreed to it. The week after, the whole lott of Owl came. They didnt see any sign of Pigeons. The laughed and thought that the pigeons were asleep. But soon thousands of pigeons swooped down on the Big Woods, blocking out the sky. The owls were shocked and surprised. Some of them fly away and hence very less owls were there.
Surprisingly, when lots of owls fly away, the remaining also flew away too. The pigeons laughed and celebrated for their won. Since then owls oftenly travel at night when pigeons fell asleep. They stare and watched out for pigeons.
- I like the legend as there were a lot of morals to know. But it kept me wondering if it do make any sense why owls stare. ( laugh )
