There once was little bird that was grey in color. He would fly high over the sky and look down on the land. He knew where a lake was that no water flowed in or out. He would go down and bath in the lake. He decided he was going to bath 4 times every morning for 4 mornings straight. He would sing, "There is a blue water. It lies there. I went in. I am blue." On the fourth day when the bird came out of the water, his feathers were all blue.

Meanwhile Coyote noticed that Bluebird's feathers were now blue and beautiful. "How did you get to be like this?", asked the Coyote. Bluebird told him to go bath in the water and sing the song. Four days later Coyote came out of the water with blue fur all over. 

A few days had passed and Coyote was walking down a trail in the desert. He wasn't paying attention and walked off the trail and fell over a rock into the dirt. His blue fur was now covered in red, grey sand. This is why Coyote is the color of the dirt and Bluebird is still blue.

Week 2 Story: The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man

The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man A long time ago, there was a ghost that walked the streets of a small town. He came to the edge of the town and laid down to rest. He started a fire and covered himself with a blanket. Hearing some twigs breaking, he ripped a hole in the blanket and peeped out to see what was coming. A man walked up  to the laying ghost and felt the ghost’s leg to see if he was real. After touching his leg, the man took a knife and tried to cut the ghost’s leg off. Before he could the ghost jumped up and screamed “What are you doing?” Frightening him, the man took off running back into the town. The next day, after a long walk along the town, the ghost again found a spot to make a fire and lay down to rest. He covered himself with the blanket and heard a man singing. With the voice getting louder, the man peeped out of the hole and saw a man walking Ghost Google Image up. The man asked the ghost “Wake up and give me some food.” The ghost gave the man some berries
