Lesson #6 Cirlce of life re-write

The Circle of Life
Sweet flower scented the air. The bright day had been refreshing. The longhouses, loud, teamed with activity. It was as if they too were awakening from the winter sleep. The awaited time of the Flower Moon filled everyone with new hope and vigor.

"Grandfather, Grandfather," Yellow Feather's face red, was worried. "Come. I have found a injured bird. We must help him!"
Chuckling to himself, Soaring Eagle lifted his aging body up as his joints creaked. He went to see what his grandson of eight winters, Yellow Feather, had found. He was such a kind, loving, and curious child. He had beautiful deer eyes that touched hearts. His long ebony hair glistened. "Well, Grandson, let's have a look." The two climbed up the hill a bit amongst the cottonwood trees, some Palo Verde, and the ever-present acacia. This is beautiful land you have shown to us, Mother Earth, thought Soaring Eagle.
"See! Right here it is, Grandfather. We have to help him."
Soaring Eagle put his hand up to cover his eyes and block out Father Sun as he searched around for a nest. He spied one just above his head and near where the baby bird lay.
"Can I take him home, Grandfather?"
"No, Grandson," said Grandfather. "Mother Earth deals with humans and animals that are in need. If we move the bird, his mother will not be able to find him when she returns. If you were hurt, wouldn't you want your mother to come and remove you? If some strangers took you with them, then she might not ever find you."
"Mama would be very sad. She might even cry," said yellow feather.
"I'm sure she would, Yellow Feather. And you are a very clever boy to understand that."
"But, what if the bird dies, Grandfather?"
"Then, Mother Earth has another plan for this baby. We must not question Mother Earth because she is smart and holds all--even our animal brothers--in her big heart. She knows what is best for each of us."
"Come, Grandson, let's go down and sit by the beautiful creek while we discuss these things. Listening to the brook should be a treat for us today. You might even get to see some beautiful Butterflies. Perhaps the Frogs will speak to us also."
