Southeast+Legend

=**Bedtime secret**=

==A long time ago, there was a war between the southeastern animals and the southeastern Indians. The Animals where angry at the humans for killing one of their brothers. So in order to get their revenge on the humans, they decided war. When the humans heard of this they didn't know what to do because they thought the animals where friendly. (Patrick starts drumming)== ==At one time, animals and people lived together peaceably and talked with each other. But when mankind began to multiply rapidly, the animals were crowded into forests and deserts. Man began to destroy animals for their skins and furs, not just for needed food. Animals became angry at such treatment by their former friends, resolving they must punish mankind. The coyote tribe met in council, presided over by Black Coyote, their Chief. After several coyotes had spoken against mankind for their bloodthirsty ways, war was agreed upon. But the weapons they were going to use, were beyond there belief. (Ali starts playing the flute)== ===The coyote tribe decided to turn the mans weapons, the bow and arrow, against them. All of the council agreed. While the coyotes worked and made bow and arrows, they wondered what to do about the bowstrings. One of the coyotes sacrificed himself to provide the strings, while the other searched for good arrow, wood.=== ===When the first bow was made and tried, the coyotes claws could not release the strings to shoot the arrow. One coyote offered to cut his claws, but Chief Black Coyote would not allow him to do that. He said, "Without claws you will not be able to defend or hunt for yourself, you might starve"=== ===The deer tribe called together its council led by Chief Big Deer. They were going to be the ones to use the bows and arrows. When the humans finally realized that the animals weren't messing around, they were startled at such behavior from them. They didn't know what they did wrong. Chief Seminole, meaning wild one or runaway, wasn't one bit surprised for this kind of behavior, he knew that the animals were angry. Chief wanted this madness to end. Without war. The tribes council all got together, and made a peace treaty.=== ===The humans peace treaty said, "Dear animals we will only hunt if needed, and only hunt what we need. We deeply apologize for such rudeness". The humans sent the letter to the animals. After the animals read this, they thought that it could use some adjustments. Chief Big Deer, the leader of the animals, spoke to the humans, "We will allow you that, but you can't hunt for us when the sky goes dark. You shall be asleep, or something will go terribly wrong. you may hunt when the sky is bright and the sun is above head."===
