The Hummingbird Part 3

Hopi Legend: In a time of famine, a young girl and boy were left alone while their parents searched for food. The boy made a toy hummingbird, the girl threw it into the air, and it came to life. Each day the hummingbird provided for the children by bringing them an ear of corn. Soon the hummingbird flew to the center of the earth where it pleaded with the god of fertility to restore the land. The rains came and green plants grew and then the children’s parents returned.
