LONG AGO When the world was news, the creator made a man and woman. The two of them were made at the same time so that neither would be lonesome. They married, and for a long time they lived together and were happy.Then one afternoon the man came home from hunting and found that
The woman had not yet begun to prepare their meal.Instead she was out picking flowers The man grew angry. I'am hungry, he said a cold voice. Do you expect me to eat flowers?Now the wife,too because angry. She had picked those flowers to share their beauty with her husband. Your words hurt me she said.I will live with the sun shone its light down on the Earth ,in front of a the woman. Where're woman. Where its shone,raspberries grew up.the berries were ripe and looked good to eat,but the woman paid no attention to them and continued At last the sun tried its hardest.It shone its light down in the grass right in front of the woman 's feet,and strawberry appeared. They glowed like fire in the grass ,and the woman had to stop when she saw them in front of her.
She knelt down and plucked one bit into it.she had never anything like it before its sweetness reminded her of how happy she and her husband had been together before they quarreled. I must gather some of this fruit for my husband,she said and she began to pick the berries. She was still picking them when the man caught up to her.Forgive me for my hard words, he said to her.And she answered him by sharing the sweetness of the strawberries.so it was that strawberries came into the world.To this day,when the Cherokee people eat strawberries, they are reminded to always 's be kind to each other, to remember that friendship and respect are as sweet as the taste of ripe, red berries.
