Excerpt from American Indian Fairy Tales: Snow Bird, the Water Tiger, Etc
He vanishes for many moons and comes back with new and wonderful tales. He has met bears with eyes of fire and claws of steel, mosquitoes whose wings were large enough for a sail for his canoe and serpents with manes like horses.
Once he found a water-lily with a leaf so broad that it made a petticoat for his wife. At another time he saw a bush so large that it took him half a day to walk round it.
As he sat in his doorway one summer evening he shot an arrow without taking di rect aim. It killed a swan and twenty brace of ducks that were swimming on the river, then passed on and mortally wounded two loons on the bank, bounded back and, as it touched the water, killed an enormous fish.
He remembers when the oldest oak was an acorn. He says that he will be alive long after the white man has disappeared from the land.
These are his tales written down for the little Pale-faces. They are of the fairies, the giants, the dwarfs, the witches and the magicians of our own land, America.
