Week 9, Reading Diary: British North America continued

Story source: Myths and Legends of British North America by Katharine Berry Judson (1917).


Turtle and Thunder - The story about how a turtle was struck by lightning but didn't know what it was. He called for help and asked several animals to show their strength. He decided that some little turtles were the ones to be able to help him. Then his little turtle friends were struck by a rock that had fell on them. After finding out that the Thunderbird caused it, out of fear the turtle decided to stay in the water whenever a thunderstorm is near.




Nanebojo and the Geese - Nanebojo wanted to catch some ducks and had his grandmother make him a sack. He took the sack to a hill near the lake and climbed inside it. He rolled down the hill, laughing the whole time. He held the ducks interest and soon they wanted a turn. He also got the attention of some geese, who also wanted to try. This was a cute story how he eventually tricked the geese to getting into the bag and he carried them home.
