"Bluejay and his chief, with Land Otter, Beaver, and another man, used to go out seal-hunting together. In the same house with them, but at the other end, lived Grouse, who was a widower with a lot of children, and he spent most of his time in the woods building a canoe."
The one story I picked from the previous part of the Hero Tales was Bluejay and his companions. I think this was a great story. I like how bluejay and his tribes were going through paddle and departure. I think it was interesting. My favorite part of this story was when Bluejay beat the squirrel in climbing contest.
"Then both Squirrel and Bluejay took sharp bones, so that if one got ahead he could hit the one behind on the head, and they started to climb. All the people crowded around to see the contest, for the pole was high and the two were well matched. At last the people saw them reach the top and saw one of them strike the other on the head so that he came tumbling down, and all the people shouted, for they thought it was Bluejay. But when he reached the ground, they found it was Squirrel who had lost. So now, since Bluejay had beaten their best climber, they let him and his companions go."
That was my favorite part of the story, and I thought I could rewrite something about it.
