Reading Notes: American Indian Fairy Tales: Part A

Reading A:

·         Lagoo was wise and old.
·         He knew the secrets of the woods and fields and he also spoke the language of the animals.
·         He lived outdoors.
·         He also knew the stories told to him by his grandfather.
·         The children were all a fan of him.
·         He made necklaces for the girls and bow and arrows for the boys.
·         He would also tell them stories.
·         Winter was the best time for stories.
·         He compared the wind two a person and said you could almost see him.
·         A little girl asked if the wind could hurt them.
·         He told her to have no fear. The fire will frighten him away.

·         Tribe of fishermen in the North.
·         The king of the cold land where no one could live in the winter.
·         The king wished there was snow all year round.
·         He was no match for the south wind.
·         The south wind was always around Summer.
·         Finally, the fishermen had to go south because the north wind was taking over for winter.
·         The men tried to tell their diver that they needed to leave and he laughed at them.
·         He had the idea to cut a hole in the ice and catch fish with a line instead of a net.
·         They were amazed but still didn’t think he could last the cold and encouraged him to come with them.
·         They left him and expected to never see him again.


·         When they were gone he did everything his own way.
·         He was walking home one day when the north wind spotted him.
·         The wind decided he was going to knock his wigwam down and blow out his fire.
·         Instead it made a blanket with the snow and warmed everything up.
·         The north wind became furious.
·         He made it in but was sweating because of the hot fire.
·         Finally, the wind asked him to come outside and wrestle.
·         The man won and the wind ran away.


·         The kids knew not to interrupt Lagoo.
·         A little girl asked him if the mountains were always there.
·         He told her he wondered the same thing.
·         He asked if they knew the story of the big rock.
·         In the time where animals and humans lived together.
·         There was nothing to fear in this area.
·         All the wild animals were free and not caged up.
·         The animals played with them and taught them how to do things including swimming.
·         Some children were swimming for a long time and they got cold and tired and decided to hang out on a rock.
·         They fell asleep.
·         The rock started to grow and raise itself.
·         Their family was searching for them and couldn’t find them.
·         They asked the coyote and he offered to help.
·         He smelt them and told them they were on the rock.
·         No animal could help as of now because they couldn’t climb the rock.
·         A worm asked if they could climb and try.
·         The worm was able to make it and wake the kids up after a whole month.
·         He helped them get down.

·         Hunter with ten beautiful daughters.
·         Many men came to court them.
·         9 were soon married and only one was left.
·         The best was last.
·         She had a spirit of her own.
·         No one was good enough.
·         She said even though they were all handsome she wanted what was inside to count more.
·         She finally met a poor ugly man and she married him.
·         He was a poet.
·         He was the son of the king of the evening star.
·         He grew beautiful and strong and youthful all while his wife was turning old and wrinkly.
·         He told her how much he loved her and how that would not change.
·         Her sisters grew jealous of her new good-looking husband.

·         All of the people that made fun of him were turned into birds and out in a cage for him to keep.
