The Indians of the Enchanted Valley

One autumn, in the valley, a great fire broke out and raged so violently that the
Indians of the tribe could not extinguish it. In desperation, they sent a request for
help to Man of Ice, a great man of magic who lived in the north. Man of Ice did
not answer with a prayer. Instead, he simply removed his crown of feathers from his
head, undid his long braids and shook his thick hair. The amazed messengers
noticed an unexpected breeze blow across his face. He shook his hair again and
it began to rain: the; the rain changed to hailstones and then to snow.
The messengers returned to their valley where the fire was still burning. The
Indians stared helplessly at the fearful sight from the surrounding hills. They knew
what the messengers had seen but were afraid that their request had been made in vain.
A few days later, a strong wind blew up, but it served only to fan the flames still
further. The rain which followed only caused damp clouds of vapour to form: but
then the hail, which drove the Indians to find shelter far off put out the flames and,
finally, snow fell and covered even the ashes. Slowly the snow melted and when, at
the start of spring, the Indians returned to their home, they discovered a beautiful lake
where the fire had raged.

offered, in return for his hospitality, to grant him a wish. After thinking for a long time
about how he could become more rich and more powerful, Midas asked for a magic gift
that would turn anything he touched to gold.
So be it, exclaimed Silenus.
Midas touched the seat he was sitting on and it immediately turned to solid
gold. He touched his belt, his clothes, a vase, a statue.... everything turned to
gold. He began to run about the palace, and everything he touched became gold:
walls, furniture, ornaments....
Midas was delighted, but all the excitement had made him hungry, so he sat
down at the table and prepared to eat. Then he realized that every piece of food he
brought to his mouth was turning to gold before he could eat it. Thanks to his greed, it
looked as though he was going to die of hunger.
Fortunately, Silenus, who had foreseen what would happen, agreed to relieve
Midas of his magic power. And so, for a bunch of grapes, Midas gave up all the gold in
the world.

The Fox and The Cat

One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited
creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get
away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some
of yours!'
'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler
ones,' replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew
louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to
the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is
the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' she called down to the fox. 'Which
one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she
could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to
pieces.
