You may have the birds, said Crow.

He sat down in front of the stone. Its deep voice told him of a time before this one, how Sky Woman fell to earth, how Turtle Island was made, and about stone giants. When he finished one story, the stone told another and then another. On and on he went.

As the sun began to set the stone said, Thats enough for today. Come back tomorrow and I will tell you more stories. But dont tell anyone about what youve heard today.

Crow ran back to the village. He managed to kill a few birds on the way to trade for hot food and parched corn.

When he traded the birds with a woman in the village she asked him Why have you brought back so few birds from your hunting?

Winter is getting nearer and its harder to find anything to hunt, answered Crow.

Early the next morning, Crow went into the woods with his bow and arrow. He hunted for birds and then rushed back to the clearing.

Grandfather Stone, Ive brought you more birds as gifts, said Crow. He put the birds down on the flat stone. Please tell me some more stories.

Crow sat down and the stone started telling one story after another until it was nearly nightfall. This happened for many days. Crow brought back fewer and fewer birds to the village. The children of the village were even crueler to him. They made fun of him and told him that now he wasnt even a good hunter.
