Tale Summary

Once there was a Native American hunter who had a good heart but was weary of the treachery of others, and so built a house in the forest far away from his tribe, taking his wife and three children. They lived happily for some time until the man became sick and lay dying. Before he passed, the man made them all promise to always love each other and never forsake their youngest brother, and said that his wife would soon follow him. Eight months later the woman also died after she reminded her eldest children of their promise. They cared for their younger brother well through the winter months, but in spring, the oldest brother wanted to visit his father鈥檚 old village. His sister questioned this decision, but he left anyway, and did not return. The girl began to think of the little boy as a burden, and one day set out to find her older brother. When she reached the village she saw that he had a wife and was happy, and was soon married as well, and did not go back for the boy. After his sister left, he ate all the food he was left with and was able to survive the warmer months on berries and roots, but was hungry and lonely in the wintertime. Without any other company, he became friendly with the wolves, who shared their food with him. When the snow melted he followed the pack to the shore, and one day his big brother happened to be fishing there. The boy sang out:

鈥淢y brother, my brother!

I am becoming a wolf,

I am becoming a wolf!鈥�

His older brother鈥檚 heart sank when he heard this and chased after him, asking the boy to come to him. The little boy was already half wolf and continued singing, and then became fully animal and vanished into the forest. Ashamed, the elder brother went back to his village to tell his sister what had happened, and they mourned their brother and their broken promise for the rest of their lives.
