IV. HOW THE KINGFISHER GOT HIS RING AND HIS RUFFLE
(Chippewa, 1895)
Menabozho had a wolf who hunted for him.
“My brother,” said Menabozho, “never cross the water, for the water manitous will catch you.”
One day the wolf was tired and saw a narrow stream in his way, so he threw the goose he had caught over his back and tried to leap across the stream. The water manitou caught him, and Menabozho had no supper and never again saw his wolf.
