The story starts with a bunch of animals playing a game of modern football, but mouse isn’t very good. He wants to get better, but his hands are too small to play, so he always drops the ball when he runs. His animal friends joke with him about his size, but mouse is sad he isn’t good. One day, mother nature went up to him. Attempting to help, she told him that if he just latches onto the ball like a piece of tape, then he can go flying. The next game of football mouse tried this, and he had some luck. He gripped on to the surface of the ball, and went flying! Not even bird could catch him!

He tells a group of tribal members a story, very much comparable to the classic myth of Pandora’s Box. He speaks of two men, each wanting their own certain goal in life. There was a box given to them, but the person who gave it had one rule: They must wait to open the box until they make it home. The first man, who wanted to be a famous healer, wished for the ability to cure a disease. On his way home, his magical box grew too exciting for him, so he opened it. By doing so, he released a tidal wave to swallow him up and his house too. The second man, who wished for a beautiful wife to marry, opened his box too early as well. As he grew excited and impatient, the man let out thousands of women, who at first seemed delightful, but eventually toppled on him, crushing him like a hydraulic press. The moral is to be patient for what is great. Wolfson is an author and expert of many native american
