Greedy Eagles

This story is about a family of five a Dad, Mum, two brothers and a Grandfather. Everyday the mother would pick berries, the father would go hunting and grandfather would tell stories and the boys would go fishing. One day one of the boys said "I'm sick of sharing fish with Mum, Dad and Grandad." "So am I ." said the other .

So when they got off their canoe the family sat down for dinner.

"The boys caught a bundle today " said the Dad.

"Yes I see that " said Mum.

"That's going to make a beautiful dinner tonight" said Grandad.

But the boys said nothing...... "Tonight" went one boy "We've decided to eat them all ourselves " went the other.

"Thats a bit greedy , don't you reckon?" said Dad

Grandad looked at the boys in a strange way said something and the two boys turned into eagles.

Now when you see greedy eagles surrounding the sun, think of two little greedy boys.
