The Dog Salmon Story

Once upon a time, there was a young boy on the beach. He was trying to snare seagulls. He decided to take a lunch break and ran up to his home. He told his mom I am very hungry. His mother replied, "Over in the box is some dried dog salmon fish." He went to the box and in it was some fish with mold on it. He laughed and made fun of the moldy fish. He refused to eat the fish. He went back to the beach and was happy to see he had snared a seagull. The seagull was barely on his line and started to run away from him dragging the snare. The young boy ran and ran after the seagull. The seagull led him into the water and the young boy walked off a ledge. His family never found his body but could only assume he drowned. The snare was left floating in the water.

The boy came too and he was swimming along a school of dog salmon. He did not realize he was one of the salmon. While swimming to get up river, he saw his parents along the river. He would jump up so they could see him. Every time he jumped, they would holler, "hey jump." One day he was caught in a net and taken back to camp. His mother was getting ready to clean him when she spotted his neckpiece around his gill. She then realized what had happened him.

He should never have made fun of the fish. The fish spirit is very strong and cannot be made fun of or treated bad. All should show high respect for salmon.
