burned his tail.
The vulture was the next one to
try. He said he had such a beautiful
crown of feathers on his head and he
tried but on the way home his
feathers burned off his head.
Then granny spider spoke up and
said she would try. Granny spun a
web around the sun and pulled it to
their dark world. Spider webs are all
the shape of the sun.
Gil also showed the children a
dream catcher, showing them the
webbing is much like a spider web.
The children’s dream catcher is a
large dream catcher and the adults’
dream catcher is much smaller. In
the children’s dream catcher there is
a tiny hole in the centre to let the
good dreams in and the outside web
keeps the bad dreams away.
After 20 years the dream catcher’s
web will start to break down and the
children have become adults and use
an adult dream catcher which is
small and more complicated.
