peer agreement (net): +1mrówka Buffalo (bawola) unosi 30-krotność swej wagi Explanation: Ants (Takâckéra) by Richard L. Dieterle The spirit chief of the ants is female. Originally she was a human yűgiwi (princess) who was chased by a mysterious demon. She escaped to the asylum of One Legged One, an avatar of Herecgúnina, and lived with him as a sister. One day he left to look for a wife, and Trickster arrived in his place. Trickster induced her to call the buffalo on promise that he would shoot them, but when the herd arrived, Trickster fled. The buffalo abducted her, carrying her between their horns. This squeezed her waist until it was as narrow as an ant's. So when One Legged One returned and retrieved her from the buffalo, he appointed her to be queen over the race of ants. This association suggests that ants may be thought of as the buffalo among insects. [1] The first ant was very tall and walked upright with the aid of a cane. He was arrogant and as he walked he sang, "Who is my equal?" One day he smashed Hare into the mud with his cane, so Hare pulled up a cedar tree and did the same to him. As a result, the tall man broke into a thousand tiny pieces which are the ants we see today. Because ants were originally boastful and trampled upon others, they are now small and close to the earth where everyone can now trample upon them. [2] Red Ant, on the other hand, understood well the folly of arrogance and greed. Once Trickster offered to help him gather honey, but his motive was to take it all for himself. When they reached the hive, Red Ant told Trickster to stick his head into the combs with the predictable result. While all the bees were chasing Trickster over the countryside, Red Ant painlessly helped himself to the honey.[3] -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-11 03:53:41 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Interesting story, isn\'t it?
