I returned home after hunting. We ate the deer and I wanted to keep
the Hawk, but my Ompi said"its not right to keep a bird in a
cage, it is a part of Mother Earth and we must appreciate all things
and all people." I sighed at the shame I felt and released the
Hawk." After releasing him I turned around to find him following
me around. I returned home with my new friend. That night around the
campfire I asked my ompi "why is the hawk still here?" He
replied" see my young brave, sometimes we dont get to choose our
friends because they also choose us before we choose them. I smiled
because I really appreciated the beauty of my new friend the
Hawk.
