Rotten-feathers 



[Told by Mosfsl 



There was a town, and a large prairie on whieh many eliildren were 

 playing. They were always making a noise. They did so every 

 morning all the year round. Then the Heaven heard it. He was 

 much anno\'ed, and therefore he sent down feathers. They came 

 down, soaring over the children. One boy saw them. He was almost 

 grown up and was very strong. He took the feathers and put them 

 on his head. Then he ran about.
