Long Legs

 

Once there were these two cranes who were husband and wife and who lived near the river. They had all the food they could eat and were good and fat. Her husband would always go hunting in the tundra, and one day while he was coming home he saw his wife throwing out everything they had including things like food and oil. Her husband became very sad when he saw this and he looked curiously at his wife. Then he sat down a little ways from her and started to sing a song asking why she was throwing out all those things. "Why is this silly woman throwing out these things? If I wasn't there she would be sitting alone in the corner of the house, long legs, long legs, yay-yay-yay, long legs, long legs, yay-yay-yay. Why is this silly woman throwing out these things? If I wasn't there she would be sitting alone in the corner of the house. Long1egs, longs legs, yay-yay-yay."

Then all of a sudden his wife stopped being mad. She started to pick up all those things and bring them back into the house. And from that time on his wife never was mad again. And whenever her husband caught any game she would put it all away and never threw any of it out.
