He decided he would save one man along with his family because they were hard workers. He told them to stop working in the maize fields and to do everything he tells them. He tells them to build a large canoe out of a cedar tree. He tells them to make a canoe out of a cedar tree because he was going to drown all the people. They did as he instructed. They finished the canoe two days later.</FONT></div> <div> <IMG SRC="0ae05d20.jpg" border=0 width="261" height="210" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="14">   That night they crawled inside the canoe, and covered the tops of their heads with mats.

When the Ancient One left, the children began to cry for a fire. The man decided to disobey the Ancient One and built a fire. The Ancient One smelled the smoke, and punished them for disobeying him. He turned the man and his wife into monkeys, and he turned the children into buzzards. Then the Ancient One created new and better people. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Baskerville Old Face" ><U>S</U></FONT><U>ources</U>:</div> <bR> <div> "Native Lore" <A HREF="http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/lore64.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/lore64.ht"><U>www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/lore64.html</U></A></div> <div> Provides the Native American story of the Great Flood.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  <style>  </style>  </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
