Theophile Panadis: Racoon and Turtle Translation by Jesse Bruchac: So I'll tell you a little story of Raccoon and Turtle. People know that the Raccoon is a teasing short person and by contrast Turtle is very slow. So Raccoon came running along to the shore of a river when he heard something come out of the river then he starting calling out "you are very slow!" Then at once he saw it thinking he was a standing stone he jumped up onto him and then it grew. He woke up Turtle and at that point he very slowly began moving out towards the middle of the water. When he arrived there in the middle he continued feeling good that he is in the water and then that Turtle totally sank and this teasing person he was drown.
