The Fox and the Bear IN the long ago there were two chiefs whose names were Fox and Bear. Each had a division of a tribe under him, but at the time of our story they were camping together. They had a great time feasting till the food began to get scarce. Then they lived on roots and what fruits they could find. Bear was married and had two beautiful daughters, while Fox was single. One day Bear called all the peowant ple together and said: "I you all to go hunting tomorrow. We are in dire need of meat; and the first one who brings me a deer can have one of my daughters to be his wife. Chief Fox heard this, and, though he did not belong to the Bear company, he decided that he the would try for the hand of young lady. But as he was tricky by nature he went hunting for the deer that evening instead ot waiting till morning as was intended for all to do. And he had buck fine luck, soon killing a which he cached in a certain, secluded place on the edge of the swamp. Having already killed the deer, he felt sure he would be the first to bring a deer to Chief Bear in the morning.) When morning came he went straight to the swamp where he had hid it; but search about the place as much as he would he did not find it till after sunrise. He then went to. Chief Bears house, only to find that some one else had brought a deer already. So you see his. cheating did not count.
