Chargement... First Fire: A Cherokee Folktalepar Nancy Kelly Allen
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. This story is the story of how animals see fire on a small island and they want to bring it back so they can use it. Several animals try to go and grab the fire bu they can't get it, it even has a few effects on some of the animals, such as the fire turning the ravens feathers black, which is why the raven is black. I would say this is more of a legend than a folklore. It resembles a myth in that it has aspects of a creation story, such as why the ravens feathers are black, but it takes place right after the creation of the world, so I would say that this is a legend because it is passed down from generation through tradition.

Why are ravens black? Why do screech owl eyes look red in light? How did we get fire? You'll find the answers to those questions in this retelling of a Cherokee pourquoi folktale. The earth was cold and dark but the animals could see fire coming from the tree on the island. They tried to fly or swim to the island to bring back the fire heat and light. What happened to some of the animals? Which animal brought it back and how? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
