The Golden Swan
……..
One night, as the
poor widow was sleeping restlessly, she heard
her husband’s voice. “I have come back to help you, “ the voice said.
The widow sat up and looked around. She knew she was dreaming, and in her dream
she went outside. A large swan spoke to
her with the Chief Hunter’s voice. “ I
know how hard it is for you , “ the Swan said
in the Chief Hunter ‘s voice. The Widow was happy to hear her husband’s voice, yet sad because she knew that it was a dream.
The words stuck her
throat so she could not speak. The Swan stood in the moonlight and said, “ I wish I could be here with you.”
Then it came closer. She could see that many of its feathers were made of gold.
In the moonlight it seemed to be a
golden swan. The golden swan said, “
Put your hand out and take one of
my golden feathers. Use the money for
yourself and the children. Go on, I will return whenever You need
more. Pull a feather out of my wing. The Golden Swan said in the voice
of the chief hunter, “Go to sleep now. In the morning you will know this was a special dream.” So the widow put the
feather beside her bed and went back to
sleep. She slept so well and so deeply
it was as if her husband were
still alive. When she woke up, she remembered the dream and looked for the
golden feather. There in its place was money and gold. The woman was very happy and later she went to the
village and bought food and clothing. She was careful not to spend too much.

The Fish that Learned to Walk
Once
there was an Indian who had a pet fish named Tommy, which he kept in a barrel.
But the fish got pretty big and the Indian had to change the water a good deal to keep him alive.
He was too lazy to do that, and
he thought he would teach the
fish to live without water. So he
did. He began by taking Tommy out of the barrel for a few
minutes at a time, pretty often, and then he took him out oftener and
kept him out longer, and after a time
Tommy got so he could stay out a good while if he was in the wet grass.
Then the Indian found he could leave him in the wet grass all night, and pretty soon
that fish could live in the shade whether
the grass was wet or not. By that
time he had got pretty tame, too,
and he used to follow
the Indian around a good deal,
and when a the Indian went out
to dig worms for him to eat. Tommy went along too and
got some for himself. The Indian thought
everything of that fish, and when
Tommy got so he didn’t
need any water at all, but
could go
anywhere—down the dusty road and
stay all day out in the hot sun—you never saw the Indian without his
fish. Some people wanted to buy Tommy, but the Indian said he wouldn’t
sell a fish like that for any
money. You’d see him coming to town with Tommy
following along the road behind, just like a dog, only
of course he traveled a good deal
like a snake, and almost as fast.
Well, it was pretty
sad that the way that Indian lost his fish, and it was unusual too. He started for town one day with Tommy
coming along behind as usual.
There was a bridge in the road and the Indian came
to it where he saw there was a hole in it, but he went on over it without
thinking. A little later he
looked round for Tommy
and Tommy wasn’t there.
He went back a way and called,
but he couldn’t see anything of his pet. Then he came to the bridge
and saw the hole, and he thought right away that maybe his fish
had got in there. So, he went to
the hole and looked down, and sure enough, there was Tommy, floating on the
water, bottom-side up. He’d fallen through
that hole into the river and drowned.
