Shall I tell you a story? asked a deep rumbling voice near him.

Crow got such a fright he nearly choked. He jumped up quickly, spitting corn from his mouth and looked around but could see no one.

Whos there? shouted Crow. Come out and show yourself.

The clearing was silent. Nothing moved.

I must be hearing things, Crow said to himself. And now Im talking to myself too.

With a laugh, he sat down again and rested his back against the round stone.

Shall I tell you a story? asked the deep voice again.

Crow sprang to his feet and shouted Alright, thats enough. Show yourself now!

Again, the clearing was silent and nothing moved.

Then Crow looked at the round stone hed been resting against. He could see a face in it. He realised it was the stones voice hed heard.

Who are you, and what are you? asked Crow.

I am Grandfather Stone. Ive been here since time began, answered the stone.

Shall I tell you a story? asked the deep rumbling voice.

What is a story? asked Crow. What does it mean to tell a story?

Stories tell us of all things that happened before this time, answered Grandfather Stone. Give me a gift of your birds a

nd I will tell you how the world came to be.
