The Lake of the Sky

CHAPTER IV
26/38

It is the noise of the fighting that the baby hears.
As in Jackson's story the baby lets them out, but it is the wind that carries them off to their various homes.
HOW THE INDIANS FIRST GOT FIRE The Indians were having a "big time" in a great log cabin.
All the birds were there too, for in those days the Indians, birds, and animals could talk to each other.
They were dancing all around the room and all were merry as could be.

They had a huge wooden drum and, as they passed this, the dancers kicked it to make music.
Now, among the birds who were there was a big blue-jay.

He was a very saucy fellow, just full of mean tricks.

When he came to the drum, he kicked it so hard that he broke it all to pieces.
Of course this caused a great commotion.

Every one was so provoked by his rudeness that they threw him out of the door.
It was raining hard and the impudence was soon washed out of Mr.Blue-Jay.
