A fox was walking and met a bear. The fox said:
“Grandfather, are you afraid of a thin-necked man getting hacked to death?” Bear said:
- Friend, why should I be afraid of him? I will eat it, just like a berry.
The fox said:
“Grandfather, I saw a lot of berries, let’s go there, follow me.” The little fox went and met a man. The fox said to the man:
“I brought the bear, the guard is here.”
A man stood guard there with a bow and an arrow. When the bear arrived, the man fired, hitting the bear in the belly. The bear ran. Foxy said:
- Grandfather, what’s wrong with you? Bear said:
- Abdominal pain has begun.
The bear went home. He wants to die. He says to his guys:
- Children, go call your uncle.
His children brought his wolverine. Bear said:
- Shaman, I’m going to die. Wolverine began to perform shamanism. Fat began to come out through the bear's wound, and the wolverine began to eat it. Bear said:
“Children, it’s starting to get dark.”
The bear kicked Wolverine with his knee, threw him into the fire, and burned her back. Wolverine went home. I reached the house. Wolverine's mother covered her burnt area with a piece of smoky suede and stitched it up.
Now this makes the wolverine's back black.
