What do you think he saw? A great, black bear holding a dear little lamb in his arms.



LITTLE BEAVER AND THE TAME CROWS.

One day as little beaver was playing on the prairie before his mother's tepee, he saw his father coming across an arroyo from a hunting trip he had taken. little beaver looked very intently, for on top of one of the pack horses, he saw two black things flapping their wings.

As soon as his father had got home and the things were unpacked, he said, "Come, my little warrior, I want to tell you a story." As soon as his little boy was on his knees he said: "While I was riding through the woods, I heard something say, 'Caw, Caw.' At first, I didn't see where it was and then I wished I had my little bright-eyed boy, for he could see. By and by it said 'Caw, Caw,' again and then, looking up, I saw an old mother crow standing on a limb, with a little crow on each side of her. I shot the mother and then climbed the tree and captured these two little crows and brought them home to my boy."
