- Abstract
- en_US I have read through the first half of these quaint and engaging stories and am saddened not to find what I would call a fable. There is plenty that an anthropologist would relish here, from repeated phrases like lifted up his tongue to cultural taboos about not handling flesh that one is going to eat and about not angering but still outwitting an unwanted suitor. Rebirth of the Ostrich (20-21) tells of just that: the rebirth of an ostrich and his movement into the cycles of life. He was reborn from just a bloody feather that had fallen into a pool.
