38 - Ark On Superstition Mountain

While hunting for some good stories for November, I came across a huge treasure trove of Native American folk tales! I read through a couple and it's obvious how many similarities there are that even seem to cross the oceans! I never cease to be amazed, either, by the casual approach to violence in old tales. People were made of tougher stuff way back then, I suppose! There is a brief mention of "beating brains out" in this story, but I try to move past it reasonably quickly. And there was a new vocabulary word in this one! It was "verdure" which means "greenery." A bit tricky to pronounce too!
