There once was a beautiful Phoebe Bird with shining feathers. The Indians loved her beautiful feathers and only had found one. Other birds hated her existence and her beauty. The Phoebe Bird tried to make friends with the other birds but for they thought all she would do is talk about how beautiful she was. So the Phoebe Bird was on her own. But she wasn't sad that she didn't make friends with the other birds because she had made friends with Fox, Rabbit, and Gopher. One day a sparrow while sitting in a tree over heard the Indians talking about the Phoebe Bird and how they wished to find another of the gleaming feathers. The sparrow flew home to his friends and told them what he had heard and his plan to be rid of the Phoebe Bird.
The sparrow, Owl, and Robbin all went back to the Indian camp all three birds came forward towards a man and a woman. The sparrow told then that they could catch the Phoebe Bird and they could have the feathers they wanted. It took two days and night for the woman, man and the rest of the tribe to decide what they would do. The third day the hunters came the forest to try to catch the Phoebe bird but they couldn't. So the warriors went out with the hunters. This whole time the Phoebe Bird was hiding with her friends.
"What should I do?" she asked her friends.
Now fox was very wise and told her this, " Tonight you must go out and put three of your feathers down on the ground. One by the Indians camp, one where the warriors sleep and the last one will go at the sparrow's home. "
That night the Phoebe bird went out and did what her friend told her to do, one feather at the Indian camp, one where the warriors slept, and the last at the sparrow's home. The next morning the ground was covered with beautiful flowers that looked like the Phoebe Bird's feathers. the warriors went home and the sparrow apologized to the Phoebe bird for sending the Indians after her, and then everything was calm.
