ThE.E!E.ELQ!EBl . Have you ever wondered why the sunflower is called by that name? I imagine that you haven't given this much thought and that you would most likely reply, 'Because it looks like the sun.n This is a reasonable answer but let me tell you a story. Many, many moons ago, at the small settlement of nSun Shine Merryn there lived a tribe of 'Scalp-youu Indians. Perhaps you will tell me that no such tribe ever existed, but I tell you, believe it or not, there truly was such a tribe. This particular tribe believed the sun to be their chief god. Therefore the chief of this tribe was called after the sun, the Indian name I shall not attempt to write, but to us he was known as Raye. Raye respected the sun very much and owned a war bonnet made of golden feathers, which seemed to resemble the sun. with each battle they won, an extra golden feather was added to Raye's war bonnet. If they lost, a golden feather was given to their enemy, Chief Fearsome of the Red Feet Tribe. If Fearsome achieved more feathers than Raye, the two would have to battle to determine the ownership of the war bonnet. The tribe whose chief was killed must submit to the rule of the new chief. Raye was getting old now, though he would not admit it. His tribe began to lose many battles. Finally a smoke signal told the news that Fearsome had one more feather than Raye and a battle was soon to be fought. Raye was defeated and died shortly after being wounded by Fearsome. Fearsome now looked triumphantly about him. On his head he proudly wore the war bonnet, which gleamed like a mass of fiery fingers waving a sorrowful goodbye to their late possessor. Alas, under the rule of Fearsome, many of the tribesmen ran away to Join other tribes. Finally the old tribe vanished after the murder of Fearsome. Not long after the death of Raye, a strange flower bloomed over the exact spot where he had fallen. The flower blooms to this day. It was believed to have been sent down to the earth by the old sungod to remind the Indians that Raye still lived. Today it is known as the sun-flower. Monica M'Gon1glc Grade X. I-G 'il-G4 'G-ml-G Summer is the loveliest time of the year, when the snow melts and flowers appear. First comes the pussywillows with coats soft and gray, Then comes the crocus, so lovely and gay. Then up pops the daffodil with her fine, yellow head, She nods to the tulips in the next bed. The robins are busy building their nests. Now you see why I like summer best. Noreen Irwin Grade N.
