First sentence: The Cree Indians of Canada, observed the philosopher Claude Levi-Strauss, were in the habit of offering the first fruit of every harvest to the forces of nature, holding the green berries first toward the sun so they might ripen, next toward the thunder so that it might bring rain to make them juicy, and finally toward the earth so that she might bring forth more, and in greater abundance.
