Watching a program on Prime called Tales of the First People. Modern telling puff old legends. One telling from the Comanche. How the people forgot that when we take, we have to give back. A great drought came. The people danced, demanding rain.
The eagle came and told the people had too sacrifice something that was prized above all and scatter the ashes to the four winds. The adults refused too sacrifice anything. "It won't work." " Why should we sacrifice anything? " Sound familiar?
There was a small child. A girl who lost her family to the drought. All she had left was a small doll, that she loved above all. So after night fell she built a fire and gave up her doll. Scattered the ashes to the four winds. When morning came, so came the rain. And with the rain came beautiful blue flowers. Bluebells I believe.
