“The Two Brothers Summary”
By Gus Empire
This story is about two Cree brothers (go figure) who are walking by a lake. One boy is playing with a toy; meanwhile an old man is in a boat, drawing ever closer. The boy throws his toy up in the air and the old man grabs it. The younger brother follows the man into shallow water and demands his toy back, but as soon as that happens the old man grabs him. During all this the older boy is trying to follow him but he has already gone into deep waters. The older brother swears his revenge and turns into a wolf.
The old man makes the younger brother marry his daughter, although it didn’t take much to force the marriage. After the old man dies, the younger brother sets out to find his older sibling. He finds out that he is living with the wolfs, so he disguises himself as a dead mouse and the wolves start to eat him. Immediately after his brother starts eating him, he springs his trap and grabs his bother by the legs.
The brothers live together but are not on good terms with each other. One day they are out hunting dogfish and the older brother finds a magic toad that said that his job was to sing and bring the dogfish back to life. For this reason, the brother kills the toad, wears his skin, and starts bringing the dogfish back to life so he can eat.
