Excerpt from Old Crow and His Friends: Animal Adventures Based Upon Indian Myths The Indians were fond of stories. All around them lived the wild creatures of the woods and fields, and many of their stories were about them. On one side of the tepee fire would sit the tall, black-eyed Indian story-teller, lifting his long arm now and then, as he told stories of Rabbit. Long legs and Big ears these red skinned people called Rabbit, and all the little Indian children loved to hear stories about him. For Rabbit was the leader in all the mischief, the Indians said. The north wind, on a cold night, some times shook the frail tepees. He rattled at the entrance flap, and howled down the smoke hole. So they told stories about him, too. And in the spring, when it thundered, they knew all about the Thunder Birds, because the story-teller had told them.
