The Great Race of the Birds and Animals

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Long ago, when the world was still quite new, buffaloes used to eat people. It is true? The hair on their chins is hair of the people they used to eat ... It is Terrible to think about those times... But the Creator saw the people's distress and decreed that a contest be held between all the two-legged and four-legged creatures. Who would win, thundering Buffalo or fleet-footed Man? None of the other animals was fast enough, ... The winner was decided long ago, in Sioux and Cheyenne legend. Buffalo -- who lost -- agreed to give up eating men for dinner, and thanks to the cunning of a single magpie, Man became the guardian of the natural world.
