Fisher Cat

          There once was a great hunter, who had the power to change
      himself into any animal of the forest. The hunter's son wanted to
      be a great hunter too, but the land they lived in was too cold. The
      boy's hands were so cold that he could not fit his arrows into his
      bow. He begged his father to make summer come. His father
      promissed.
          The father climb to the top of a tall mountain as a bear. At
      the top of the mountain he tried to jump high enough to break the
      hole in the sky. He changed into many friends the otter, the beaver,
      the lynx, the badger and the fisher cat. The fisher cat climbed up
      through the hole.
          There the hunter found a land of flowers and birds and summer.
      The sky people were nowhere to be found. In some of their tee-pees
      there were many cages of birds. The hunter knew that if he released
      these birds, they would fly through the hole in the sky and carry
      summer to the Earth.
            He opened all the cages. The birds flew out and down to Earth.
      They made such a noise that the sky people heard it. They hurried
      to close the hole in the sky. The hunter changed himself into a
      bear, but the sky people shot him with their arrows. They
      stretched him out in the sky. You can see him at night as the
      Great Bear in the sky.
