Reading Notes The Three Hunters- Part B

The Three Hunters

Tibetan Folk Tales by A.L. Shelton with illustrations by Mildred Bryant (1925).

This story is a little odd. The tale goes there was once three brothers who were all hunters. Their three wives, and one sister lived with them. One day they brought home a deer and gave the sister the leg. She cracked up the leg and made amazing bone marrow. The two older wives were upset and planned to kill her. So the next time their husbands left they killed her, though the youngest wife did not partake. On the way home the men saw a bird tweeting out the same tune. They began to think it was trying to tell them something. They asked if it was their sister and it replied yes. They then knew their sister was dead, but her sole lived in this bird. They went home and found the youngest wife crying, though she would not say what happened. They confessed to her that they knew all that happened and later killed the two older wives.

Though the instructions stated the new world must be created by two people.The two boys filled with excitement immediately started coming up with ideas of how they wanted to shape this new world.  One of the boys was named Thomas, he was very outgoing and loved sports.
