| A brother and sister were left alone in
the world and no-one in their community could care for
them. So when the group moved on to the next camping
place, the brother and sister were left behind. They
were helpless, so they talked to each other about what
they could do to survive. "We could transform ourselves
into some other animal," they agreed. "We could
become fish, but then people would catch us in nets and
eat us. We could become caribou but then wolves would
attack us. We could become geese but then we would need
to fly far, far away when winter came." Finally
they thought of a perfect transformation. "We can
become the tundra and we will be endless and eternal." So
they carried out their plan - they became the tundra
and survived forever. |
