Raven & the Grass Blanket

as told by Old Man Dude

Crow went for several days. He had a blanket. He found a blanket on the ground. He threw away his old blanket. He had a grass blanket now, but it rotted, so he had no more blanket. He went to the beach. He was calling the westerly wind. "Hey Westerly Wind, give me back my blanket!" He got his own blanket back again. He used his own blanket.

Raven Steals the Fisherman's Bait

as told by Old Man Dude

He see a fisherman. He said, "What bait you got?" "Seal fat, I got for bait," the fisherman hollered. Crow he picked up the water on a stick and walked under it. He began to eat the man's bait. He chew yet. The man feel it. He hooked Crow on the nose. Too much cheat people, that Crow. Man in the canoe want to haul him up. No. Crow held to the bottom of the canoe so he couldn't get hauled up. Pretty soon he broke the Crow's nose. Crow fixed his nose with gum before he went to the fisherman's house. He went inside the house. "Nobody found something around here?" he asked. "Fisherman, he found something," they said. "He hook him." "Let me see." He look at him. "What nose is this?
