Gwiingwiishi has been with us since the beginning of time.She is a helper, a trickster, and one of the smartest birds in the world.
Squirrel shook his head, just as confused as Rabbit. Gwiingwiishi, hiding in the treetops, giggled quietly to herself. When Squirrel reached for his own food, Gwiingwiishi swooped down again, taking it away. - Hey! Where did my food go? Squirrel exclaimed. The two friends began to argue, each suspecting the other.
As Rabbit and Squirrel argued, their voices grew louder and their friendship seemed to fray. - You took my food! Rabbit accused. - No, you took mine! Squirrel retorted. Gwiingwiishi watched, knowing her trick was working. But she also knew the real lesson was yet to come. The forest seemed to hold its breath as the friends quarreled.
Gwiingwiishi watched with a mix of amusement and concern. She knew the friends needed to learn not to let small misunderstandings tear them apart. But Rabbit and Squirrel were too upset to notice anything else. Their friendship was at risk, and Gwiingwiishi had to act quickly. - Maybe it was the wind, Rabbit suggested doubtfully.
Feeling the weight of their argument, Rabbit and Squirrel decided to part ways for now. Gwiingwiishi felt a pang of worry as she watched them walk away from each other. She had to find a way to bring them back together. - I didn't mean to upset you, Rabbit whispered as he walked away. Squirrel didn't respond, lost in his own thoughts.
Gwiingwiishi realized her trick had gone too far, and she needed to fix it. She swooped down to where Rabbit and Squirrel had been sitting. The leftover food lay scattered, a reminder of their friendship. - I must find a way to show them the truth, Gwiingwiishi thought. But how could she reveal her trick without making them feel worse?
Gwiingwiishi decided to gather all the other forest animals to help her. Together, they would show Rabbit and Squirrel the value of their friendship. - Can you help me make things right? Gwiingwiishi asked her friends. The animals nodded, eager to assist. They all knew how important Rabbit and Squirrel were to the forest community.
Despite her efforts, Gwiingwiishi felt overwhelmed. Maybe her trick had ruined everything. Just as she was about to give up, she heard a familiar voice. - Do not worry, Gwiingwiishi, said Nanabozho, appearing beside her. His presence brought comfort, and Gwiingwiishi found hope again. Perhaps there was still a way to mend things.
Nanabozho shared his wisdom with Gwiingwiishi, guiding her to reveal the truth to Rabbit and Squirrel. - Show them the joy of their friendship, Nanabozho advised. - Let them see how much they mean to each other. Gwiingwiishi nodded, her spirits lifted. She knew exactly what to do.
Gwiingwiishi gathered Rabbit and Squirrel, ready to reveal her trick. - I was the one who took your food, Gwiingwiishi admitted with a laugh. - It was just a playful trick to remind you of your friendship. Rabbit and Squirrel exchanged surprised looks, then burst into laughter. - We're sorry for arguing, Rabbit said. - Let's share our meal again, Squirrel suggested, smiling.
