Before they know it, the villagers are contributing vegetables to the stone soup.

The Bear's Long Tail: A Tale Retold
Nokomis tells her grandson, Heyden, the story of how Fox tricks Bear. Bear should be asleep in winter. Instead, he awakens to rumblings in his stomach and before he heads outside, he stops to admire his long, bushy and shiny tail. Fox demonstrates how he uses his tail to catch fish. He tells Bear that they will go to another part of the lake for Bear to catch fish. Fox, being a trickster, knows that this part of the lake has no fish. Overnight, Bear's tail freezes in the lake and is pulled off when Bear tries to free his tail from the ice.
In this First Nations narrative, children will recognize that, like animals, people have different natures. There are people, like Bear, who trust others without question. There are also people, like Fox, who cannot be trusted all of the time.
Teachers may consider inviting an Elder or traditional knowledge keeper to the classroom to tell the narrative.
