A
long time ago it is winter, summer is but a dream, there is only winter, it has
no end. The Great Spirit gives fire to the people but the North wind breathes
on it and makes it cold, the people cannot light the fire again. The sun goes
west and does not return, it is the longest night.
Life
is hard for the people, they have little to eat, and many young and old pass
into the world of Spirit. The people sit together to stay warm but no one speaks and no one sings. Then the people find a
bear sleeping in a cave, they want to kill the bear for it’s meat and fur but
the bear wakes up, "I am weak from sleeping but my teeth and my claws are
sharp, if you try to kill me now you will also die"
