The Golden Swan
……..
One night, as the poor widow was sleeping restlessly, she heard her husband’s voice. “I have come back to help you, “ the voice said. The widow sat up and looked around. She knew she was dreaming, and in her dream she went outside. A large swan spoke to her with the Chief Hunter’s voice. “ I know how hard it is for you , “ the Swan said in the Chief Hunter ‘s voice. The Widow was happy to hear her husband’s voice, yet sad because she knew that it was a dream.
The words stuck her throat so she could not speak. The Swan stood in the moonlight and said, “ I wish I could be here with you.” Then it came closer. She could see that many of its feathers were made of gold. In the moonlight it seemed to be a golden swan. The golden swan said, “ Put your hand out and take one of my golden feathers. Use the money for yourself and the children. Go on, I will return whenever You need more. Pull a feather out of my wing. The Golden Swan said in the voice of the chief hunter, “Go to sleep now. In the morning you will know this was a special dream.” So the widow put the feather beside her bed and went back to sleep. She slept so well and so deeply it was as if her husband were still alive. When she woke up, she remembered the dream and looked for the golden feather. There in its place was money and gold. The woman was very happy and later she went to the village and bought food and clothing. She was careful not to spend too much.

The Fish that Learned to Walk
Once there was an Indian who had a pet fish named Tommy, which he kept in a barrel. But the fish got pretty big and the Indian had to change the water a good deal to keep him alive. He was too lazy to do that, and he thought he would teach the fish to live without water. So he did. He began by taking Tommy out of the barrel for a few minutes at a time, pretty often, and then he took him out oftener and kept him out longer, and after a time Tommy got so he could stay out a good while if he was in the wet grass.
Then the Indian found he could leave him in the wet grass all night, and pretty soon that fish could live in the shade whether the grass was wet or not. By that time he had got pretty tame, too, and he used to follow the Indian around a good deal, and when a the Indian went out to dig worms for him to eat. Tommy went along too and got some for himself. The Indian thought everything of that fish, and when Tommy got so he didn’t need any water at all, but could go anywhere—down the dusty road and stay all day out in the hot sun—you never saw the Indian without his fish. Some people wanted to buy Tommy, but the Indian said he wouldn’t sell a fish like that for any money. You’d see him coming to town with Tommy following along the road behind, just like a dog, only of course he traveled a good deal like a snake, and almost as fast.
Well, it was pretty sad that the way that Indian lost his fish, and it was unusual too. He started for town one day with Tommy coming along behind as usual. There was a bridge in the road and the Indian came to it where he saw there was a hole in it, but he went on over it without thinking. A little later he looked round for Tommy and Tommy wasn’t there. He went back a way and called, but he couldn’t see anything of his pet. Then he came to the bridge and saw the hole, and he thought right away that maybe his fish had got in there. So, he went to the hole and looked down, and sure enough, there was Tommy, floating on the water, bottom-side up. He’d fallen through that hole into the river and drowned.
