Injun Babies

On wide, green plains, lived happy children. These were the Children of the Plains. Their homes were big, round tepees. People made tepees from strong animal skins. The tepees stood tall. They were warm inside. The plains stretched far and wide. Green grass grew under a big blue sky. Warm sun shone down. Birds sang sweet songs. This was their special world. They loved their home very much. Wind blew softly.

These children played all day. They ran fast in the tall green grass. They laughed loud in the warm sun. They watched small critters. They learned many things from nature. They helped their people each day. Girls helped gather sweet berries. Boys helped find dry wood. All had good work to do. They were busy. They were happy. Their days were full of fun. They grew strong.

Life was simple for them. They woke with the morning sun. They ate simple, good food. They drank clear, cool water. They played many games outside. They made toys from small sticks. They made dolls from soft grass. They explored the wide land. They knew each tall tree. They knew each big rock. They felt safe and happy here. Their life was very good. They smiled often. They slept well.

The children saw many critters. A small brown rabbit hopped by. A little bird sang on a branch. They watched a big deer drink clear water. They saw a busy squirrel hide nuts. They learned many things from the critters. Critters were their quiet friends. They were kind to all creatures. They did not scare them away. They just watched very still. The critters felt safe too. Nature was their good teacher.

The children played and learned each day. Their world was full of gentle wonders. They found joy in many small things. A bright yellow flower made them smile. A warm, soft breeze felt good. The big sky was like a blue blanket. The stars twinkled like tiny lights at night. Their life was a happy song. They lived with the good land. They loved their simple, pretty world. It was a very special place.
