The Shaman looked at the dry riverbed then to the sky hoping for rain He chanted and prayed, but the clouds did not darken. Off in the distance he caught a glimpse of his daughter talking with eagle.
Eagle had told her that frogs are known to bring rain, all the time eyeing the salmon that she held in her hands. The shaman's daughter sat down. "This is my people's last salmon. I will give it to you if you fly to the frog village and bring back their salmon.
Eagle looked at her with curious eyes. "You would give me our only food?"
"The frog shaman will bring the rain. The rain will flow again and the salmon will return, so yes, I will give you the last of my people's food if you will help"
Not saying another word, Eagle swooped down wand snatched the fish with his talons.
After two long days of waiting near the dusty riverbed, the shaman's daughter looked up through the clear skies to see eagle approaching with the frog shaman in his beak. She gently took the small shaman back to her village.
All the people watched as frog sang his song. The shaman's daughter chanted and danced around the fire with the frog. Soon everyone felt the cool mist cover their faces. With the cool water streaming down, they began to sing and dance with happiness.
It was not long before the rivers flowed again with salmon darting through the waters.
