Once Raven was very white
like the snow on the tundra and so was Owl. One day, while sitting
on a rock looking for rabbbits, Raven flew down and landed beside
the white owl.
They had known each other for a
very long time and were always challenging one another to see
which was the strongest. Raven sat down on the rock next to his
old friend.
"Let's wrestle," said
Raven.
"I do not want to fight you
today," answered Owl.
But the white raven did not
listen.
"Let's wrestle," he
repeated.
"I do not want to wrestle. I do
not feel like it today" replied the white owl.
But Raven still would not listen
and started to wrestle with the unwilling Owl.
They rolled around the ground and
when Owl saw a mud puddle, he pushed Raven into it. The black mud
covered his entire body. No white remained at all! Raven was very
mad because he was so muddy and because Owl had pushed him
in.
"Friend Owl," said the mischievous
bird, "give me a hand so that I can get out of this mud
hole."
But the white owl was wise to
Raven's tricks and deceits.
"No." he said. "You are the one
who started the fight. I said that I didn't want to wrestle
today."
Raven thought for a minute and
then said, "Friend, if you help me out I will give you half of my
possessions."
So Owl reached down and pulled
Raven out of the thick, black mud. Raven was still covered from
head to foot and he was no longer white like the snow.
As soon as he was out, the black
bird shook his feathers and mud flew all over the place. Some of
it splattered on Owl's white feathers, leaving him spotted with
small black specks.
To this day ravens are entirely
black and owls are spotted.
