A long
time ago, Raccoon had no mask. It was the coldest winter ever and Raccoon had
to follow people around to steal their food. One night the Ancestors lit a fire
to keep them warm as it was a very cold night. The fire had gone out and Raccoon
quietly crept into the longhouse. Raccoon put his nose down to sniff at the
food and his nose fell on the hot ashes of the fire which had burned out only
recently. It stung horribly and Raccoon went outside to put his nose in the
snow to cool it down but the ashes stuck to Raccoon's face forever. The moral
of the story is not to steal from people, for there are consequences.
