When the Terrapin won the race from the Rabbit, all the animals wondered and talked about it a great deal, because they had always thought the Terrapin slow, although they knew that he was a warrior and had many conjuring secrets beside.But the Turkey was not satisfied and told the others there must be some trick about it. Said he, "I know the Terrapin can't run, he can hardly crawl, and I'm going to try him."So one day the Turkey met the Terrapin coming home from war with a fresh scalp hanging from his neck and dragging on the ground as he traveled.The Turkey laughed at the sight and said: "That scalp don't look right on you. Your neck is too short and low down to wear it that way. Let me show you."The Terrapin agreed and gave the scalp to the Turkey, who fastened it around his neck."Now," said the Turkey, "I'll walk a little way and you can see how it looks." So he walked ahead a short distance and then turned and asked the Terrapin how he liked it.Said the Terrapin, "It looks very nice; it becomes you.""Now I'll fix it in a different way and let you see how it looks," said the Turkey. So he gave the string another pull and walked ahead again."O, that looks very nice," said the Terrapin.Go Back To: Cherokee Nation
