How The Peacock Got
Beautiful Feathers
Long, long ago, the peacock was
a plain bird. None of the animals
every played or talked to him. One
day, the peacock heard thegods
weeping about how plain the sky

was. So one day the peacock took
the colors from the earth. He used
red from the berries; orange from
the tiger lilies; yellow from the daf-
fodils;, green from the grass and a
feather from the bluebird for blue.
Then he turned them all into pow-
der by banging them with a stone.
Then he added water to the colors.
Early the next morning, he paint-
ed his colors across the sky. When
the gods saw the colors, they asked
the peacock if he was the one who
had done this. The peacock admit-
ted that he had done this, expecting
punishment, but instead the gods
-were so happy they -gave hirri one
wish. Re wished he had rtiOret61-
ors. So the gods gave him long, col-
ored feathers.
One day, many Moons later, the
peacock saw a little Indian brave
named Dark Eyes, who was blind.
No one else in the tribe, nor any
other animal; could bring back the
little brave's sight. So the peacock
took the magic feather out of his
tail, which only grows back every
two years, and stroked it across the
little brave's eyes.
Suddenly, Dark Eyes could see.
Then the little brave thanked the
peacock and told the gods about
what the peacock had done. As
another gift, the gods gave the pea-
cock circles on the feathers, repre-
senting eyes. That is why the pea-
cock's feathers are so beautiful
today.
