Blackfoot: Two Fast Runners
By: George Bird Grinnell (1915)
Characters: antelope and a deer
In the beginning, the antelope said he could run faster so they raced and the antelope won.
Later, the deer said the antelope only won because they were in the antelopes territory/ land, so they went to where the deer lives and raced there. The deer won this time.
Prizes?
When the antelope won- took deer's gall
When deer won- took antelope's dewclaws
They were each able to beat each other when they were on their home ground.
Moral of the story: never underestimate someone and their abilities.
