CONTENT DESCRIPTION
AbstractStory given in Wichita only. The collector's free translation is as follows: "Once upon a time a dove was cooing a great deal. We Wichita would say he was mourning. At the same time the mocking bird was mocking all the birds. When he heard this, the dove said to the mocking bird, 'You are constantly mocking all kinds of birds. But in my case, my spirits are sad and depressed. I am mourning. May the day never come when I happen to hear you mocking me, because I am mourning. I am not cooing at all. If the day comes when you mock me, you will not be safe. I will kill you.' So that is the story of how the dove was sad and his spirits were depressed."
