Turtle and Thunder: This story is a British North American
legend. The title of the story Turtle and Thunder really made me curious as to
what correlation there would be between them. The turtle was getting struck by
something several times. He was helpless and wanted help from anyone. The
turtle tested out a deer and a bear and they both failed the test of proving
that they could fight the giant he was after. A crowd of little turtles
ironically proved that they were the only ones that the turtle believed would
be able to stand against the giant. He took them to the lake where he lived and
shortly a big stone fell down and killed the little turtles. Ever since that
day the turtle hid in the water whenever a thunderstorm was striking.

Wolverene and the Geese: This story is about a wolverene who
was running around the seashore and saw many birds in the water. He lured the
birds into believing that he has a bee nest waiting for them if they come to
shore to dance and sing with him. As expected they came and he sang for them.
He told them to all close their eyes as he was singing. As soon as they closed
their eyes, he took advantage and killed them all. A loon was able to escape
because he did not believe the cunning wolverene. The wolverene skinned and put
the birds in a pot to boil as he took for a nap. A Jay saw the wolverene’s
actions and went to tell the Indians about him. The Indians rushed to the
wolverene’s location to steal the meat from the pot. When the wolverene woke up
he realized that the meat had gone as he was sleeping, however he did not know
it was the Indians. The jay then told the wolverene that it was him who told
the Indians to come. The wolverene replied by telling the bird he was keeping a
piece for him.
