Adapted from American Indian Stories
by Zitkála-Šá (Gertrude Simmons Bonnin)
The elders knew the meaning of my pauses, and often they coaxed my confidence by asking, "What do you seek, little granddaughter?"
"My mother says you are to come to our tepee this evening," I instantly exploded and breathed freely afterwards.
"Yes, yes, gladly, gladly, I shall come!" each replied. Rising at once and carrying their blankets across one shoulder, they flocked leisurely from their various wigwams toward our dwelling.
At the arrival of our guests, I sat close to my mother and did not leave her side without first asking her consent. I ate my supper in quiet, listening patiently to the talk of the elders, wishing all the time that they would begin the stories I loved best. At last, when I could not wait any longer, I whispered in my mother's ear, "Ask them to tell an Iktomi story, Mother."
Soothing my impatience, my mother said aloud, "My little daughter is anxious to hear your legends."
As each in turn began to tell a legend, I pillowed my head in my mother's lap, and lying flat upon my back, I watched the stars as they peeped down upon me, one by one. The increasing interest of the tale aroused me, and I sat up eagerly listening to every word. The old women made funny remarks and laughed so heartily that I could not help joining them.
