A Karine story
Once, there was a Fox who lived in the desert across the river from California. On the other side of the river, there was a very wise Coyote named Is-a-vah’. The Fox was very sly and wanted to steal the coyote’s young children.
Is-a-vah’ liked to walk outside of the magic circle and only used her magic when there was danger. She liked playing tag with her friend, the Crow. Crow liked playing hide-and-go-seek with Is-a-vah’.
Is-a-vah’s little sister, named Ally liked to tease Is-a-vah’s friend, the Crocodile because the Crocodile pinched her on the nose.
In Is-a-vah’s magic circle there was a silver-colored lake. The lake was only 3 feet deep.
Silver rabbit came hopping down the path towards the lake. She was astounded, when she crashed into a hummingbird. This was no ordinary crash because the hummingbird was just a toy that someone left in the bushes beside the path.
At the lake a snake was slithering beside the water.
Is-a-vah’ smelled a dying rabbit. She ran a fast as she could and when she got to the dying rabbit she used her magic. The magic healed the rabbit.
Is-a-vah’ said, “There will be no killing in my territory.”
Is-a-vah’ had her own young to protect. And, that is why she went outside of her magic circle.
The End
