Up it looked as the stone fell from above. | ᎦᎸᎳᏗᏣ ᏩᏚᎧᏃᏁ ᏅᏯ ᏗᎪᎰᏍᎬ. |
The blow glanced off the key. | ᎤᏍᎫᏴ ᎤᏭᏓᎳᎩᏍᏓᏁ ᎠᏍᏚᎩᏍᏗ. |
Angered, the beast writhed in its prison. | ᎤᏂᎦᎸᏍᏓᏅ, ᎢᎾᏓ ᎠᏦᏫᏎᏍᎨ ᎠᏥᏂᏴᎲ. |
As Stephen fought to hold it, some townspeople approached. | ᏍᏗᏫ ᏚᏓᎵᏴᎮ ᎠᏁᎸᏗᏍᎬ ᎣᏍᏓ ᎤᏂᏴᏗ, ᎦᏚᎲ ᏗᏁ ᎤᎾᏰᎶᎴ. |
Charlie and Stephen bade them stay back. | ᏣᎵ ᏃᎴ ᏍᏗᏫ ᏚᏂᏁᏤᎴ ᎢᏴ ᏗᏗᏳᎾᎴᏗ. |
Then Charlie went to fetch his armor. | Ꮓ ᏣᎵ ᎤᎩᏒᏎ ᎤᎵᏍᏙᏗ. |
He emerged from the house with boots, with oil, and with sword. | ᎦᎵᏦᏕ ᏧᏅᎪᏤ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᎢᏗᎦᏘ ᏗᎳᏑᎶ ᏧᎳᏑᎵ, ᎪᎢ ᎦᏂᏤᎮ ᏃᎴ ᎦᏅᎯᏓ ᎠᏰᎳᏍᏗ ᎦᏁᎮ. |
He told Stephen to hold the beast while he soaked it in oil. | ᏍᏗᏫ ᎠᏥᏁᏤᎴ ᎤᏂᏴᏗ ᎢᎾᏓ ᎪᎢ ᎠᏍᏚᏥᏍᎬ ᎢᏳᎯ. |
The serpent went mad with the oil fumes. | ᎢᎾᏓ ᎤᏙᏳ ᏥᎨᏐ ᏧᏂᎦᎸᏍᏓᏁ ᏚᏴᎯᎲ ᎠᏒᎬ ᎪᎢ. |
Wriggling free of its bonds, it fled for the nearby rocks. | ᎤᏚᏓᎳᎩᏍᏓᎾ, ᎾᎥ ᏅᏲᎯ ᎢᏗᏣ ᏭᏓᏂᏏᏅᏍᏓᏁ. |
Stephen wanted to light it aflame, but Charlie held him back. | ᏍᏗᏫ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎨ ᏭᏥᏍᏓᎵᏗ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏣᎵ ᎤᏅᏍᏓᏕᎴ. |
“It would surely set the houses ablaze as well,” said he. | “ᎤᏙᏳᎾᏏ ᏰᎵ ᏓᏓᏁᎸ ᏱᏓᏥᏍᏓᎵᎩ,” ᎤᏛᏁ. |
Stephen was inclined to defer to his wisdom. | ᏍᏗᏫ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᎣᎯᏍᏗ ᎡᎵᏍᎨ. |
“Catch his head again,” Charlie said. | “Ꮟ ᎠᏍᎪᎵ ᏫᎯᏳᏓᎸᎥᎦ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏣᎵ. |
Stephen caught the beast’s head in the wooden tube and buried it in the rocky soil. | ᎠᏓ ᎬᏗ ᏭᏂᏴᎮ ᎢᎾᏓ ᎠᏍᎪᎵ, Ꮓ ᏅᏲᎯ ᎦᏙ ᏫᏄᏩᏁᎴ. |
Trapped as the creature was then, Charlie crept up on it. | ᎠᏎᎪᎩᏓ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎾᏓ, ᏣᎵ ᎤᎳᏏᏂᏗ ᎾᎥ ᏭᎷᏤ. |
With the flat of his sword, he hoisted it into the air and flung it into the woods. | ᎠᏯᏛᎥ ᎦᏅᎯᏓ ᎠᏰᎳᏍᏗ ᎬᏗ, ᎢᏴ ᎤᏌᎵᏓᏁ, ᎠᏓ ᏓᏓᏧᎬ ᏭᏓᎩᏅᏎᎢ. |
“There,” he said. | “Ꭷ,” ᎤᏛᏁ. |
“Now let us feast.” | “ᎢᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎯ.” |
From then on, Charlie was known as Sir Charles - the bravest of the knights of the village. | ᏍᎩᏴ ᎠᏓᎴᏂᏍᎩ, ᎠᏥᎨᏳ ᎠᏃᏎᎮᎢ - ᎠᏍᎦᎡ ᏂᎨᏒ ᏗᎵᎯ ᎭᎾ ᎦᏚᎲ ᎡᎯ. |
And the serpent was never seen or heard from again. | ᏍᎩᏃ ᎢᎾᏓ ᎨᏍᏗ ᎯᎸᎯᏳ ᏔᎵᏁ ᏳᏂᎪᎮ ᎠᎴ ᏳᎾᏛᎪᏓᏁᎢ. |
WOLF WEARS SHOES Told by Sequoyah Guess | ᏩᎭᏯ ᏥᏚᎳᏑᏝᏅ: ᏏᏉᏯ ᎤᏃᎮᏢᏅ |
In the forever that was, all the forest dwellers spoke Cherokee. | ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᏓ ᎢᎾᎨ ᎠᏁᎯ ᏣᎳᎩ ᏣᏂᏬᏂᏍᎬ. |
Near a river, Rabbit and Squirrel were talking. | ᎤᏪᏴ ᎾᎥ ᏥᏍᏚ ᎠᎴ ᏌᎶᎵ ᏓᎾᏟᏃᎮᏍᎬ. |
There, in the direction of the river, Beaver was coming. | ᎤᎿᏛ ᎤᏪᏯ ᏗᏣ ᏗᎠᎢᏒ ᏙᏯ. |
"Look! Look!" Beaver was saying | “Ꮒ! Ꮒ!” ᎠᏗᎮ ᏙᏯ. |
"what is it, Beaver?" said Rabbit. | “Ꮩ ᎤᏍᏗ, ᏙᏯ?” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
There, where rabbit and squirrel stood, Beaver arrived. | ᎤᎿᏛ ᏚᏂᏙᎬ ᏥᏍᏚ ᎠᎴ ᏌᎶᎵ ᏭᎷᏤ ᏙᏯ. |
"I found something near the river," said Beaver. | “ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏥᏩᏔ ᎤᏪᏯ ᎾᎥ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏙᏯ. |
"I have never seen the thing that I found before. | “ᎨᏍᏗ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᎠᎩᎪᏛᎲ ᏍᎩᎾ ᏥᏥᏩᏔ. |
You might, by chance, know what it is." | ᏂᎯ ᎡᎵᏊ ᏱᏣᎾᏔ Ꮩ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ.” |
"Alright," said rabbit, "let's go." | “ᎭᏩ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏥᏍᏚ, “ᎢᏕᎾ.” |
As they were walking near the river, suddenly Wolf appeared at their side. | ᎤᏪᏯ ᎾᎥ ᏩᎾᎢᏒ, ᏩᎭᏯ ᎾᎥ ᎤᎦᏌᏗᏣ… |
They were not afraid of Wolf, but they thought that he was truly annoying. | ᎨᏍᏓᏛ ᏯᏂᏍᎦᎮ ᏩᎭᏯ, ᎠᏎᏍᎩᎾ ᏙᏳ ᎤᏦᏎᏗ ᏣᏁᎵᏍᎬ ᏍᎩᎾ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
Wolf thought he knew everything. | ᏂᎦᏓᎮᎾ ᎤᏩᎾᏕ ᎡᎵᏍᎨ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"Hello," said Wolf. | “ᏏᏲ,” ᎤᏛᎮ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"Where are you all going?" | "ᎦᏨ ᎢᏤᎦ?" |
"Beaver found something near the river," said Rabbit. | “ᏙᏯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏩᏔ ᏧᏪᏯ ᎾᎥ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"He doesn't know what it is," said Squirrel. | “ᎨᏍᏗ ᏳᏩᎾᏔ ᏙᎤᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏌᎶᎵ. |
"I will very likely know what it is," said Wolf. "I will go too." | “ᎠᏯᏛ ᎡᎵᏊ ᏯᏆᎾᏔ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ. “ᏗᎨᏏ.” |
All of them headed in the direction of the river. | ᏂᎦᏓ ᎤᏁᏅᏎ ᏧᏪᏯ ᏗᏣ. |
When they arrived, the beaver said, "here; what is it?" | ᏭᏂᎷᏤᏃ, “ᎠᎭᏂ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏙᏯ, “ᏙᎤᏍᏗ?” |
There, into the tall grass, went Wolf. | ᎤᎿᏛ ᎢᎾ ᎤᏛᏒ ᎨᏒ ᎦᏅᎦᏟ ᏭᎶᏎ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
He found what Beaver was talking about. | ᎤᏩᏛᎮ ᏍᎩᎾ ᎠᏗᏍᎬ ᏙᏯ. |
Now, Wolf began smelling. | ᏃᏊᏛ ᎤᎴᏅᎮ ᎠᏒᎬ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
Soon, he sat down. | ᏎᎩᏃ ᎤᏓᏍᏛᏝᏁ. |
"I know what this is," said Wolf. | “ᎠᏆᏔᏃ ᏙᎤᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎯᎠ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"Among humans, they call it a 'shoe.'" | “ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯᏃ ‘ᎠᎳᏑᎶ’ ᏓᏃᏎᎰ…” |
"It's a shoe?" said the others. | “ᎠᎳᏑᎶ ᎠᎩ?” ᎤᎾᏛᏁ ᎠᏂᏐ. |
"A shoe. Humans' feet hurt if they don't wear shoes." | “ᎠᎳᏑᎶᎢ. ᏚᏂᎳᏏᏕᎾ ᏚᏁᏍᏔᏁᎰ ᏱᏚᏂᎳᏑᏝ ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯ.” |
Rabbit, however, knew that Wolf was lying. | ᎠᏎᏍᎩᏃ, ᏥᏍᏚ ᎤᏩᎾᏖ ᎠᎵᏍᎪᏍᎬ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
It wasn't a shoe. | ᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᎳᏑᎶ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎯᎠ. |
Rabbit knew very well what it was. | ᏥᏍᏚᏛ ᏙᏳ ᎤᏩᎾᏖ Ꮩ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ. |
It was a trap. | ᎠᏒᏛᏛ ᎨᏎ. |
"I'll teach him," thought Rabbit. | “ᏕᏥᏰᏲᎾ,” ᎤᏪᎵᏎ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"Wolf doesn't know everything!" | “ᎨᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᏓ ᏳᏩᎾᏔ ᏩᎭᏯ!” |
What do the people do when they put on shoes?" Said Rabbit. | “ᎦᏙᎲ ᎾᏅᏛᏁᎰ ᏱᏓᏚᎳᏑᏠᎾ ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯ?” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"This is what they do," said Wolf. | “ᎯᎠᏛ ᎾᏅᏛᏁᎰ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
Wolf went to where the trap lay. | ᎤᎿᏛ ᎠᏒᏛ ᏗᎦᎾᎥ ᏗᏣ ᏭᎶᏎ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"This is what they do," he said. | “ᎯᏓ ᎾᏅᏛᏁᎰ,” ᎤᏛᏁ. |
He stepped there, where the trap lay… | ᎤᎿᏛ ᎠᏒᏛ ᏗᎦᎾᎥ ᏭᎳᏏᏔᏁ… |
Kaweh!! It clanged hard. | ᎬᏪ!! ᎢᏍᏓᏯᏊ ᎤᏃᎸᏎ. |
Wolf was in serious pain. | ᏙᏳ ᎤᏪᏍᏓᏁᎸ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"This is what they do when they put on shoes," said Wolf, nearly crying | “ᎯᎠᏛ ᎾᏅᏛᏁᎰ ᏱᎾᏚᎳᏑᏝᎾ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ - ᎭᎴ ᎾᏦᎯᏍᎬ. |
"Ha!" Thought Rabbit. | “Ꭽ!” ᎤᏪᎵᏎ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"Not learning yet." | “ᏣᏏ ᏯᏕᏠᏆᏍᎦ.” |
"Alright, Wolf!" said Rabbit. | “ᎭᏩ, ᏩᎭᏯ!” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"Now what about your other foot?" | “ᎾᎾᎲ ᏐᎢ ᏣᎳᏏᏕᎾ?” |
"Let's go hunt for another shoe. | “ᏫᏗᏯᎷᎦ ᏐᎢ ᎠᎳᏑᎶ. |
So both your front feet will have shoes." | ᎢᏧᎳᏃ ᎠᎬᏯᏗᏣ ᏕᏣᎳᏍᎬ ᏱᏕᏣᎳᏑᎶᎯ.” |
"Okay," said Wolf. | “ᎭᏩ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
He barely spoke… | ᏎᎦᏨ ᏄᏪᏤ… |
As it was, Beaver had to fell the tree. | ᎠᏎᏍᎩᏃ, ᏙᏯ ᎤᎴᏴᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏎ ᏗᏧᎬᎢ. |
The trap was hooked there. | ᎤᎿᎮᎾ ᏫᎫᏓᎴ ᎠᏒᏛᏓ. |
When he finished, they headed toward the river. | ᎤᏍᏆᏙᎾᏃ, ᎤᏂᎾᏅᎩᏒ ᏧᏪᏯ ᏗᏣ. |
As they walked along, Beaver found another trap. | ᏩᎾᎢᏒᏃ ᏐᎢ ᎠᏒᏛᏗ ᎤᏩᏛᎮ ᏙᏯ. |
"Here's another! Here's another!" said Beaver. | “ᎠᎭᏂ ᏐᎢ! ᎠᎭᏂ ᏐᎢ!” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏙᏯ. |
"Put it on! Put it on!" said Rabbit. | “ᎭᎳᏑᏢᎩ! ᎭᎳᏑᏢᎩ!” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"Okay," said Wolf, barely speaking. | ᏩᎭᏯᏃ, “ᎭᏩ,” ᎤᏛᏁ, ᏎᎦᏨ ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎦ. |
Wolf went to where the trap lay and stepped in it. | ᎠᏒᏛᏓ ᏗᏥᏯ ᏭᎶᏎ ᏩᎭᏯ ᏃᎴ ᏭᎳᏏᏁ. |
The trap clanged hard. | ᏍᏔᏲ ᎤᏃᎯᎸᏎ Ꮎ ᎠᏒᏛᏓ. |
Then Wolf's tail and ears stiffened. | ᎾᎾᏃ ᏩᎭᏯ ᎦᏂᏓᏛ ᏃᎴ ᏗᎦᎴᎾ ᏗᏍᏛᎦᏴᎮᏗ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏁ. |
"This is what they do when they put on shoes," said Wolf, nearly crying | “ᎯᎠᏛ ᎾᏅᏛᏁᎰ ᏱᎾᏚᎳᏑᏝᎾ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ ᎭᎴ ᎾᏦᎯᏍᎬ. |
The wolf's feet were really hurting. | ᏙᎯᏳᎮᏃ ᏚᏪᏍᏔᏁᎮ ᏚᎳᏏᏕᎾ Ꮎ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"Ha! Really not learning anything," thought Rabbit… | “Ꭽ! ᏙᎧ ᎭᏗ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏯᏕᏠᏆᏍᎦ,” ᎤᏪᎵᏎ Ꮎ ᏥᏍᏚ… |
"Now! You still have two feet," said Rabbit. | “ᎧᎹ! ᏏᏛ ᏔᎵ ᏕᎯᏂᏅᏌᏓ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"Let's hunt down two more shoes." | “ᏥᏙᎩᏯᎷᎦ ᏔᎵ ᎢᎦ ᏗᎳᏑᎶᎢ.” |
"Alright," said Wolf, barely. | ᏩᎭᏯᏃ, “ᎭᏩ,” ᎤᏛᎮ ᏎᎦᏨ. |
Beaver had to gnaw the tree the trap was hooked to. | ᏙᏯᏛ ᎤᏍᎪᎵᏍᏗ ᎥᎨᏒ ᏗᏧᎬ ᎠᏒᏛᏗ ᏫᎫᏓᎸ. |
Wolf walked along and moaned in agony. | ᏙᏳ ᎠᎩᏠᎨ ᏩᎢᏒ ᏩᎭᏯ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎵᏰᏗᎮ. |
Now Squirrel saw another shoe. | ᏃᏊᏛ ᏌᎶᎵ ᎤᎪᎮ ᏐᎢ ᎠᎳᏑᎶ. |
"Put it on! Put it on!" they told Wolf. | “ᎭᎳᏑᏢᎩ! ᎭᎳᏑᏢᎩ!” ᎤᏃᏎᎴ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"Okay," said Wolf. | “ᎭᏩ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
He backed up to where the trap lay and stepped on it with his rear foot. | ᏒᏛᏓ ᏗᏥᏯ ᏭᏏᏅᏎ, ᏭᏔᏍᏖᏎ ᎣᏂ ᏗᏣ ᎦᏅᏒᏓ. |
The trap clanged hard. | ᎢᏍᏔᏯᏊᏛ ᎤᏃᏴᏍᏕ ᎠᏒᏛᏗ. |
"This is what they do when they put on shoes," said Wolf, truly in pain now. | “ᎯᎠᏛ ᎾᏅᏛᏁᎰ ᏱᎾᏚᎳᏑᏝᎾ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ - ᏙᏳ ᎠᎩᏟᏲᎦ ᏃᏊ. |
"Still not learning," thought Rabbit. | ᏝᏛᏏ ᏯᏕᏠᎦᏩᏍᎦ ᎤᏪᎵᏎ ᏥᏍᏚ. |
"You still have one foot," he told Wolf. | "ᏏᏛ ᏌᏊ ᎯᎳᏒᏓ," ᎠᎪᏎᎴ ᏩᎭᏯ. |
"Let's find one more shoe." | "ᏌᏊ ᏥᏗᏩᏗ ᎠᎳᏑᎶᎢ." |
"Okay," said Wolf. | “ᎭᏩ,” ᎤᏛᏁ ᏩᎭᏯ |
