The Dog Salmon Story
Once upon a time, there
was a young boy on the beach. He was trying to snare
seagulls.
He decided to take a lunch break and ran up to his home.
He told his mom I am very hungry. His mother replied, "Over
in the box is some dried dog salmon fish." He went to
the box and in it was some fish with mold on it. He laughed
and made fun of the moldy fish. He refused to eat the
fish. He went back to the beach and was happy to see
he had snared a seagull. The seagull was barely on his
line and started to run away from him dragging the snare.
The young boy ran and ran after the seagull. The seagull
led him into the water and the young boy walked off a
ledge. His family never found his body but could only
assume he drowned. The snare was left floating in the
water.
The boy came too and he
was swimming along a school of dog salmon. He did not
realize
he was one of the salmon. While swimming to get up river,
he saw his parents along the river. He would jump up
so they could see him. Every time he jumped, they would
holler, "hey jump." One day he was caught in a net and
taken back to camp. His mother was getting ready to clean
him when she spotted his neckpiece around his gill. She
then realized what had happened him.
He should never have made
fun of the fish. The fish spirit is very strong and cannot
be made fun of or treated bad. All should show high respect
for salmon.
