How Raven Turned
Black
One day Raven was flying around and,
as usual, was looking for something to eat. At dusk, he noticed a
lone house so he lighted by the smokehole and peeked in. When he saw
an old woman making akutaq, Raven flew down to the porch and landed
making a lot of noise. Then he said; "If you don't give me akutaq,
I'll eat you up."
The old woman, thinking it was some
kind of monster, grew frightened and threw her akutaq out saying, "Here eat this!" She
heard something eating noisily. When it was quiet she peeked out. Seeing nothing,
she retrieved her
pan.
The next day the old woman made more
akutaq. Just when she finished making her akutaq, she heard a loud
noise on the porch and a deep voice say, "If you don't give me
akutaq, I'll eat you up!" This happened for a couple more days until
the old woman became curious about what that big old monster looked
like. The old woman made her akutaq again and set it out on the
porch. She waited till the monster came, then she peeked out. To her
surprise, all she saw was a white raven eating her akutaq. "I'll get
him back for scaring the daylights out of me," she
thought.
Then she gathered ashes and soot from
her fire place and began to make akutaq out of them.
The next day, the old woman made a
pan of akutaq for herself. Again, as usual, she heard a loud noise on
the porch, then the deep voice say, "If you don't give me akutaq,
I'll eat you up!" This time, the old woman threw the akutaq mixed
with ashes and soot out the door saying, "Please don't eat me up, I'm
just an old woman." Soon the old woman heard slurping noises then
choking sounds. And when she peeked out again, she saw that the poor
old raven had turned black from all the soot he had eaten.
