Narrative
Imagine never having daylight. Never being able to see the beautiful earth and it's people.
Along time ago at the beginning of Earth, the Inuit tribe lived in the far north. They had never seen daylight. The only one who had never seen daylight was Crow because he traveled to the south, but the tribe did not believe him. The tribe wanted to have daylight because they knew they could protect themselves better and hunt longer and farther. The tribe begged Crow to go to the south and receive the daylight, so he decided to go on the journey. He was very tired from his journey and came down to rest. He went into a lodge where the head chief lived and there was a box that glowed. There was a boy and the Crow flew in his ear. "Why are you crying?"the chief asked, kneeling beside the child. The chief gave the glowing box to his daughter. The glowing box was tied with string and she gave it to the little boy. Then the boy went outside to play. As soon as the Crow saw the boy alone he swooped down and stole the box of light. The Inuit tribe saw a spark of light through the darkness. The Crow dropped the box of light, and it exploded on the ground. In return causing light to appear everywhere. The tribe was so joyful about their fortune, but there was a twist, they could only have light for half the year because the Crow only obtained one box of light. It would need to rest six months to regain its strength and the darkness would return. In the end they were very thankful for what they received from the Crow.
