Download or read book Indian Legends Retold written by Elaine Goodale Eastman and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Indian legends, repeated by the fireside to children, deal with the animals humanized, their gifts and their weaknesses, in such a way as to be a lesson to the young. Our view of the creation allows a soul to all living creatures, and rocks and trees are revered as sharers in the divine. Beyond their simplicity and realism there is always the unexplained, the background of mystery and spirituality. These animal fables serve as an introduction to more complicated stories with human actors, which almost always have their hidden morals and are accepted by our people as guides to life. They are full of humor and poetry, of pride, tenderness, boastfulness, and real heroism. Human lives are mingled with the supernatural, with elements and mysterious powers, bringing swift punishment for wrong-doing. This is the basis of our Indian philosophy, the groundwork laid early in the mind of the child, for them to develop later in life by his own observation.
