THE NAN WHO STOLE THE LIGHT.

In village on the lower Yukon river
there lived an orphan boy who sat with
the humble people on the bench over the
entrance to the kashim or common
house.
The boy was considered foolish. and
everyone ilitreated him, but he worked
hard and made little complaint.
One day n raven called to him from a
tree Look in the hollow, Look in
the hollow, You will find a magic suit
which viii change you into a raven. -
. The boy found q black suit. but he
did not tell the people of the kashin
for fear they would take ii away from
him.
Shortly afterward somebody stole the
sun and the moon and the village was
always in darkness. The medicine men
tried to bring back the sun and moon
by magic. but they did not succeed
One day the boy said: What fine

This made them angry. and they
drove him out of the kashim- He went
to the house of his aunt and begged her
TO tell him where the sun and the
moon had gone. for he wished 10 bring
the light back again.
