THE LEGEND OF THE BIRDS AND THE BEASTS TVTOW when iheMnnltou hud created " the earth ami the mountains by pouting dirt and lock through a holo in the sky, he was much pleased with his handiwork. So he rested for many da.vs and lived on the earth, and re joiced in the trees ami the green grass and the rivers and the lakes which his strength had created. Hut by am' by he became lonely mill wished for some living thing to enjoy (he beauty with him. and his heart was sad, for there was none to share his treasiite and none to whom he could turn lor comfort and for pleasure. So lie set about to ercaU living creatures who might Inhabit the world and make It more beautiful with their presence. He i etui tied to Heaven nnd tool: his stuff, and with his stall' he went bad, again to the earth which he had formed. From the sinnll end of hHI staff he fashioned the fishes big ones and little ones, of various sizes and various shapes. And when he formed them he breathed upon them tho breath of life and placed them In tho streams; and when they were put ! the water they swam away, and so vvera the fishes created. Then the Mnnltou went .o the for ests, and here he picked f.om tho ground great handfiils of dry leave? which had been cast there by lh wind. These he blew Into the air and there they floated and llew, and wings and feathers came to them and from that time on the birds were made to live upon the earth. And from tho leaves of the oak were the larger birds the eagles, and the ravens, and the hawks created , and from tho nspen leaves came the red bird ami tho jay. And each leaf made Its own bird, anil each tree Its own kind, ami the woods were filled wPh the musle of the birds when they sang. From the middle of his slnlT tho Mnnltou created the bens(stho ante lope and the bison, the rabbits ami the squirrels, the co.vote and the wolf, and tlie sheep and the fox nnd thesis he set down upon the earth also, ami some went to the plains and sonu to the mountains, and some lived In tho forests and nunc among the rocks, and and so were the beasts created. Hut when the .Mnnltou had made nlf these and had paused to rest from his Inbors, they straightway fell to fight ing and the big killed the little, ant! the strong attacked the weak, and the rivers and woods were rod witU the blood of the beasts which thu Mnnltou had mnde. And the Mnnltou, when he saw the battle anil saw thn crentures Killing and being killed, wns sick at heart. So he decided to create some othel living creature, Imbued with his own strength and his own wisdom; ami this creature he decided would he set down upon the earth to rule tho oth ers and to make the laws and tlia rules, and fo see that the beasts censed their killing and lived In peace and Iffirmony together as he desired. So from the big end of his staff ho fashioned the grlz.ly, and him he set down at the foot of the great moun tain, and gave to him strength am) wisdom to govern the world. And the grizzly was master of all the oth ers, and Interpreted to them the words and the dctircs of the Mnnltou. When the Mnnltou had cicated the grk'zly then he returned ngaln to his home In heaven and left the beasts behind to inhabit the world which he had created. So was the creation or the beasts nnd the birds an 1 the fishes and all livings tilings except the red men, who came later and who were born through the nnget of the Mnnltou with the grizzly and his tribe.
