LEGEND OF THE INDIAN PAINTBRUSH

Little Gopher has a gift...he can paint beautiful images of his people. One day he has a dream in which he sees a white buckskin painted with beautiful colors, much like a sunset. Little Gopher tries his hardest to capture these colors in his paintings, but never is satisfied with the results. One night he hears a voice telling him to take the white buckskin to the place where he watches the sun set, and he does. There he finds paintbrushes filled with the colors of the sunset, sticking out of the ground. He paints the most beautiful colors on his buckskin! The next day, on the hillside, were beautiful flowers, for the brushes had become plants which bloom every spring to this day!
