EAST WIND AND NORTH WIND

Previous

Tlingit

A HIGH-CASTE man married first the daughter of East Wind. When he heard of the pretty daughter of North Wind he married her also. He took her back to the village where his first wife lived.

Then people said to the daughter of East Wind, “There is a pretty woman here. Her clothes sparkle all over. They make a tingling noise.”

The daughter of East Wind was very jealous. She made the east wind to blow. It began to grow warm and cloudy. Then the daughter of North Wind lost all her sparkling clothing. The icicles and the frost melted away. Then the daughter of North Wind was no longer beautiful.
