The
Story of the Evergreen
When the world was created the great spirit toiled for days and nights. In an effort
to remain
awake, the spirit
enlisted several animals and plants to help with the mighty tasks at hand.
In the end only a few animals remained
alert. To these, the owl, the cat, and the panther the spirit
awarded nocturnal
vision. The only tree to remain watchful was the evergreen, who the
spirit allowed
to never lose
their color or sleep in the winter.
Like the evergreens, Corinne
will always be awake and watching over us.
(This story, was told to Gabe Logan by his
Choctaw grandmother. Gabe is a friend of
Corinne’s father.)
