At the base of a large mountain was a small pond. | ᎤᏅᏓᏒ ᎾᎥᏂ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎮᎢ. |
Many fish lived in the pond. | ᏍᏈᏍᏓ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎠᏁᎮᎢ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎲ. |
The fish had many names, but the Cherokee people called them Rainbow Trout. | ᏍᏈᏍᏓ ᏚᎾᏙᎡ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᏎᏃ ᏧᏂᎶᎸᏗ ᏓᏃᏎᎮ ᎠᏂᏣᎳᎩ. |
Most of them looked the same, except for one small fish. | ᏫᏥ ᎢᏯᏂ ᎤᏐᏱ ᏗᎨᎦᏃᏗ ᎨᏎ, ᏐᏉ ᎤᏩᏌ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ Ꮳ. |
All the other fish called him Littlefish. | ᎠᏂᏐ ᎠᏂᏣᏗ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎠᏃᏎᎮ. |
The fish all lived happily in the small pond … except for Littlefish. | ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᏁᎮ ᏂᎦᏓ ᎠᏣᏗ ... ᏣᏉᏲᎪ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ. |
The larger fish always bossed him around. | ᎤᎾᏔᏂᏗᎨ ᎠᏂᏣᏗ ᎠᎾᎵᏍᎦᏰᎬᏍᏔᏁᎮ. |
When Littlefish swam near the top of the pond they would say, "Don't swim near there Littlefish, the Kingfisher bird will fly by and scoop you up!" | ᎠᎼ ᎦᏚᎢᏣ ᏳᏓᏬᎠ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏂᏪᏎᎮ, "ᏤᏍᏗ ᎭᎾ ᏯᏓᏬᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᏣᏠᎯ ᏓᎦᏃᎯᎸᏍᏔᏂ ᏃᎴ ᏓᏣᎾᎩᏍᏔᏂ!" |
When Littlefish swam near the side of the pond, they would say, "Don't swim there Littlefish, the raccoon family will grab you and gobble you up!" | ᏃᏗ ᎠᏍᏛᎢ ᎢᏣ ᏳᏓᏬᎠ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏂᏪᏍᎨᎢ, "ᏤᏍᏗ ᎭᎾ ᏯᏓᏬᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎬᎳ ᏏᏓᏁᎸ ᏓᎨᏣᎾᎩᏏ ᏃᎴ ᏓᎨᏣᏯᎪᏂ!" |

Littlefish thought to himself, "They only say these things because I am so small and they are so big." | ᎤᏓᏅᏖᎴ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, "ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏂᎬᏪᏎᎰ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗ." |
"I do not like being a little fish." | "ᎨᏍᏗ ᎣᏍᏓ ᏯᎩᏰᎸ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏯ." |
One day while swimming around beside a large rock he noticed a small hole through which pond water flowed. | ᏐᏉ ᎢᎦ ᎡᏆ ᏅᏯ ᎤᎵᏗᏨ ᎠᏓᏬᏍᎬ ᎤᎪᎮᎢ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏔᎴᎦᏒ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎲᎢ ᏫᎦᎶᏍᎨᎢ. |
He swam closer and watched leaves and small twigs float down the hole. | ᎾᎥᏂᎨ ᏭᎷᏤᎢ ᏃᎴ ᏚᎦᏙᏍᏔᏁᎢ ᏧᏆᎶᎦ ᏃᎴ ᏧᏍᏗ ᏧᏩᏂᎦᏝᏅ ᏫᏓᏳᎢᏅᏍᎨᎢ ᎠᏔᎴᎦᏒ. |
He listened to the water as it flowed through the hole and wondered where the water, leaves, and twigs were going. | ᎤᏛᎦᏍᏔᏁ ᎠᎹ ᏫᎦᎶᏍᎬ ᎠᏔᎴᎦᏒ ᏃᎴ ᎤᏓᏅᏖᎴ ᎭᎾ ᏫᏗᎦᎶᏍᎬ ᎠᎹ, ᏧᏆᎶᎦ ᏃᎴ ᏧᏍᏗ ᏧᏩᏂᎦᏝᏅ. |
As he swam closer still he heard a large fish yell. | ᎾᎥᏂᎨ ᏭᎷᏣ, ᏅᏛᎦᏁ ᎡᏆ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏧᏪᎷᏁ. |
"Don't swim there Littlefish!" | "ᏤᏍᏗ ᎭᎾ ᏱᏣᏓᏬᎡᏍᏗ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ!" |
"The current is strong and you may be pulled down into the hole!" | ᎤᏟᏂᎩᏓ ᎠᏟᏰᎵ ᎠᎹ, ᏓᏣᎾᏌᎾᎩᏏ ᎠᏔᎴᎦᏒᎢ! |
He turned to swim away, but it was too late. | ᎭᏂᏣ ᏫᏛᏓᏬᎢᏎᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎣᏂᏱ ᎨᏎᎢ. |
The current of the water was too strong and Littlefish closed his eyes as it pulled him through into a smaller pool. | ᎤᏟᏂᎩᏓ ᎨᏎ ᎨᏴᎢ ᎠᎹ, ᏚᎧᏔᏍᏔᏁᎢ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏭᎾᏌᎾᎩᏎ, ᎠᏲᏟᎨ ᏗᎦᏁᎲ ᏭᎸᏥᎴ. |
He swam around until he found the entrance he came through. | ᎤᏓᏬᎡ, ᎤᏩᏛ ᏧᎶᏒ ᎢᎪᎯᏓ. |
But the water was flowing too fast for such a small fish to swim against. | ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᏣᏄᎵ ᏫᎨᏰᎢ ᎠᎹ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎭᏂᏣ ᏭᏓᏬᏍᏗ. |
He heard his mother's voice, "Littlefish, Littlefish, are you okay? I cannot fit through to come and get you, but you are a strong Littlefish and will find your own home some day." | ᎤᏛᎦᏁ ᎤᏥ ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎬ, "ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎣᏏᏉᏧ? ᎨᏍᏗ ᏫᎬᎩᎶᎯᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ ᏫᎬᎾᎩᏍᏗ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏣᏟᏂᎩᏓ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᏃᎴ ᏰᎵᏉ ᏘᏩᏛ ᏨᏌ ᏣᏁᎳᏗᏍᏗ ᎯᎸᎢᏴ." |
"You will be okay Littlefish, so swim on, swim on." | "ᎣᏏᏉ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᎭᏓᏬᏣ, ᎭᏓᏬᏣ." |
"I love you." | "ᎬᎨᏳ." |
"Littlefish, swim on." | "ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᎭᏓᏬᏣ." |
He tried to yell back to her, but his tiny voice disappeared in the roar of the water. | ᎤᏁᎸᏔᏁ ᏫᏄᏪᏎᏗ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎡᏝᏪᎯ ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎨ, ᎠᎹ ᎤᏃᏴᎬ ᏭᎵᏛᏓᏁᎢ. |
Littlefish swam slowly around the pool for several days. | ᏰᎵ ᏧᏙᏓᏆᏓ ᎤᏓᏬᎢᏙᎴ. |
One day he realized the pool seemed smaller. | ᏐᏉ ᎢᎦ ᎤᏕᎶᎰᏎ ᎠᏲᏟᎨ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎲ. |
He wondered why. | ᎦᏙᏃ ᎤᏪᎵᏎ. |
He remembered that when the rain didn't come for a few days, the water level would drop. | ᎤᏩᏅᏓᏕᎢ ᏰᎵ ᏎᎦ ᏳᎦᎾᏅᎾ ᏱᎩ, ᎡᎳᏗ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᏍᎨ ᎠᎹ. |
When the next rain came, the pool would fill up again. | ᏔᎵᏁ ᎱᎦᎾᎾ, ᎭᎧᎵᎨ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎲ. |
Littlefish thought of what his mother had said, and although he was scared, he decided to swim on. | ᏭᏓᏅᏖᎴ ᏄᏪᏎᎸ ᎤᏥ, ᏁᎳᎩᏃ ᏣᏍᎦᎢᎮ, ᏫᏥ ᏭᏓᏬᎥᏍᏗ ᏚᏭᎪᏔᏁᎢ. |
He faced the water flowing downstream, closed his eyes, and although he was scared, he decided to swim on. | ᎨᎢᏗᏣ ᏫᎨᏴ ᏭᎧᏔᏁᎢ, ᏚᎧᏔᏍᏔᏁᎢ, ᏭᏅᎪᏤᎢ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎲ. |
Littlefish remembered what the big fish had said to him, so … | ᏭᏩᏅᏓᏕᎢ ᏄᏪᏎᎸ ᎡᏆ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎾᏍᎩᏃ... |
He didn't swim too close to the top of the water. | ᎨᏍᏗ ᎦᏚᎢ ᎾᎥᏂ ᏳᏓᏬᎠ. |
He didn’t swim too close to the side of the water. | ᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᏍᏛᎢ ᎾᎥᏂ ᏳᏓᏬᎠ. |
He didn’t swim too close to the bottom of the water. | ᎨᏍᏗ ᎡᎳᏗ ᎭᏫᏂ ᎾᎥᏂ ᏳᏓᏬᎠ. |
After a while, Littlefish found himself in a pool of water where he saw a strange looking fish with many bumps on his head. | ᎪᎯᎢᏴ, ᎤᎪᎮᎢ ᎤᏓᎴᏨ ᏗᎧᏃᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᏍᏈᏍᏓ ᏚᏣᎡᎢ ᎠᏍᎪᎵ. |
He was afraid, but he swam up to the new fish and said in his tiny frightened voice, "Hello, I am called Littlefish and I've never seen a fish like you." | ᎠᏍᎦᎢᎮ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᎥᏂ ᏭᎷᏤ ᎠᏤᎯ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏃᎴ ᎤᏍᎦᎣᏅ ᎤᏬᏂᏎ, "ᏏᏲ, ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎬᏉᏎᎰ, ᎨᏍᏗ ᎯᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᎪᎥᏱᎩ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ." |
The larger fish swam slowly up to him and said in a gravelly voice, "Hello Littlefish, the Cherokee people call me Knottyhead." | ᎤᏍᎦᏃᎵ ᎾᎥᏂ ᎤᎷᏤ ᎤᏔᏂᏗᎨ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᎡᎳᏗ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏬᏂᏎ, "ᏏᏲ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᎤᎬᏍᏕᎵ ᎬᏉᏎᎰ ᎠᏂᏣᎳᎩ." |
"I am a bottom feeder and have seen many different kinds of fish." | "ᎠᎼ ᎡᎳᏗ ᎦᎵᏍᏓᏯᎲᏍᎩ ᏃᎴ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏓ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏗᏥᎪᎥ." |
Littlefish replied, "It is very nice to meet you, Knottyhead." | "ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎩ ᏕᎩᎾᏦᏒᎢ ᎤᎬᏍᏕᎵ," ᎤᏛᏁ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ. |
"I would like to stay and hear of all the different fish you have seen and met but this pond is too small for both of us, so I must swim on. Goodbye, Knottyhead." | "ᏲᏎᎢ ᎬᏇᏓᏍᏗ ᏱᎨᏎ, ᏲᏎᎢ ᎬᏆᏛᎦᏍᏙᏗ ᎢygᎡᏎ ᏄᎾᏓᎴᎲ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏕᏣᏙᎥ ᎠᏎᏃ ᎤᏍᏗᎩ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎩᏂᏴᏍᏗ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎲ, ᏫᏥ ᏫᏓᎦᏓᏬᎢ. ᏕᎾᏓᎪᎲᏳ ᎤᎬᏍᏕᎵ." |
In the next pool of water he saw an odd looking fish. | ᏔᎵᏁᎢ ᎠᎹ ᎦᏁᎲᎢ, ᎤᏓᎴᏨ ᏗᎧᏃᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎤᎪᎮᎢ. |
It was dark brown and seemed to be covered in mud. | ᎤᏬᏗᎨ ᎤᎵᏏᎩ ᎨᏎᎢ ᏃᎴ ᏌᏬᏚ ᎤᏓᏅᎵᏰᏓ ᏄᏍᏕᎢ. |
The strange new fish walked along the bottom of the stream on four legs. | ᎤᏓᎴᏨ ᎠᏤᎯ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᏅᎩ ᏕᎦᏅᏌᏛ ᏕᎬᏗᏍᎨ ᎡᏙᎲ ᎠᎼ ᎡᎳᏗ. |
Littlefish was afraid but swam up to it anyway and said, "Hello, I am called Littlefish and I have never seen a fish like you." | ᎠᏍᎦᎢᎮ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᎥᏂ ᏭᎷᏤ, "ᏏᏲ, ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᎬᏉᏎᎰ ᏃᎴ ᎨᏍᏗ ᎯᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᎪᎥ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ." |
"Hello Littlefish, I am called Mud Dog by the Cherokee and I am not a fish, I am a large salamander." | "ᏏᏲ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᏧᏩ ᎬᏉᏎᎰ ᎠᏂᏣᎳᎩ ᏃᎴ ᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏱᎩ ᎠᏯ, ᎠᏯᏃ ᎤᏔᏂᏓ ᏚᏪᎦ." |
Littlefish said, "Hello Mud Dog." | "ᏏᏲ ᏧᏩ," ᎤᏛᏁ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ. |
"It's very nice to meet you, but I must swim on." | "ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎩ ᏥᏕᎾᏦᎯ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏫᏥ ᏩᏆᏓᏬᏍᏗ." |
"Goodbye." | "ᏕᎾᏓᎪᎲᏳ." |
So Littlefish swam on to the next pool where he heard a tiny voice say, "Hello." | ᏔᎵᏁ ᏗᎦᏁᎲ ᎠᎹ ᏭᎷᏤ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏣᏗ, ᏃᏗ ᎤᏛᎦᏁ "ᏏᏲ" ᎠᏗᏍᎬ. |
He was startled by the voice. | ᎤᏍᎦᏍᏓᏁᎴ ᎤᏛᎦᎾ ᏓᏬᏂᏍᎬ. |
He looked around until he saw a red fish emerge from under a rock. | ᎤᎧᏖᏃᎴ ᏎᎦ, ᎤᎪᎮᎢ ᎩᎦᎨ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏧᏅᎪᏤᎢ ᏅᏲ ᎭᏫᏂᏣ. |
This strange fish had fins in the front that resembled the beak of a bird and crawled along the bottom of the stream on legs like a centipede. | ᏍᎩᎾᎾ ᎠᏣᏗ ᏚᏩᏓᎷᏯᏛᎢ ᏂᏚᏩᏁ ᎠᎬᏱᏣ, ᏥᏍᏆ ᎧᏴᏌᏛ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᏚᏍᏕᎢ ᏃᎴ ᎭᏫᏂ ᎠᎹᏱ ᎠᏓᎾᏏᏂᏙᎮ ᏧᎦᏃᏣ ᏤᏕᎦᏅᏌᏙ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ. |
