CONTENT DESCRIPTION
AbstractStory given in Wichita only. The collector's free translation is as follows: "The dove is always mourning, day after day, all the time. The dove used to be a gambler; he gambled and gambled all the time. He was always losing everything he had. Then one day his brother died. Someone came and told him, 'Your brother is dead, and I have come to get you.' He said, 'Wait a while.' Again he told him, and again he said, 'Wait.' So the messenger went back, and when he got back they had already buried him--because his brother had not come. Finally he came, after a long time. 'Where is he?' he asked. 'We already buried him, because you did not come for a long time,' they told him. And that is the way it is. To this day, the dove mourns all the time."
