The Girl who Married a Bear
Peesunt was the Chiefs daughter. She was vain and proud. She was always combing her long black hair, waiting for people to say how beautiful it was and how her skin was soft.
She believed she didnt have to behave like the others and that everyone should respect her because of her father.
One day she went into the forest to pick berries, with other girls from the tribe.
As they walked further and further under the trees, the others became nervous. They started to sing softly.
Why are you singing? asked Peesunt. Were frightened of disturbing the animals said one. We need to let them know were coming - especially the bears. Bears are ugly and smelly sniffed Peesunt. I dont care if I disturb them! Please dont say that begged another. Theyll hear you and be very angry. Let them! said Peesunt. m the Chiefs daughter and I dont have to worry about disturbing smelly old bears!
They came to a clearing and were even more scared to be in the open. Then they saw bushes full of berries and started to filled their baskets.
The day went quickly and they forgot all about the bears as they laughed and talked while they picked the fruit. When the sun began to prepare for sleep, their baskets were full.We must leave now one girl said to Peesunt, before it gets dark. The animals wont like us disturbing their sleep. Why should I care? asked Peesunt. I want to pick more berries. The others were frightened and started walking.
Peesunt sighed and followed them, but then she saw another bush with the biggest and juiciest berries all over it. I must pick those she said to herself. ll go back with the best berries and people will say Of course. Shes the Chiefs daughter!
Quickly she picked the berries until her basket was overflowing. The others were out of sight, singing and talking, not noticing that Peesunt wasnt with them.
She ruushed to catch up and the strap on her basket broke and all the berries spilled onto the ground. As she bent to scoop them up, a handsome young man appeared, wrapped in a bearskin cloak.
Can I help you, Peesunt? he asked. How do you know my name? asked the girl. Everyone knows of beautiful Peesunt, the Chiefs daughter. You are so beautiful, you must be her. That is true said Peesunt. Everyone knows of my beauty.
When they had filled the basket again, the young man fixed the strap so Peesunt could carry it. The sun had almost gone to sleep and the forest was becoming dark .Its too late for you to walk back to your village the young man said. My people would be honoured if you would stay with us overnight. Peesunt did not know what to do, so she shook her long black hair, vainly and said she would stay.
When they came to his village, she saw other people, all wearing bearskin cloaks. The women would not speak or look at her. They kept their eyes on the ground.
The young man led her to the centre of the village, where people were sitting around a fire. She was welcomed by their chief, who was old and wore a crown made from bear claws.
