you have. Now what needs to be done:
– ask for a three-liter jar;
– hide in a secret place;
– find an empty matchbox;
If a three-liter can is not available, a large cardboard box will do.
Feathers
After the bank has been tucked away in a secluded place, we can proceed to a very important task. First you have to explain that the Indians collected bird feathers for various purposes. Think you only have a feather in an Indian headdress? You will need them for other things too! We will create with you: a roach – a hat with feathers, amulets, dream catchers and even learn how to make tattoos!
– «But what about the arrows»? – asked Hanukkah.
– «We will make arrows without feathers, because we live in the world. Many feathers cannot be collected over the summer, they are worth the weight of three hundred dried mosquitoes»!
– «How much weight»? – the dog asked Mamuka.
– «When we gather the tribe, we will have our own currency. For three hundred mosquitoes, you can exchange a real bird feather»!
– «Wise Indian»»! – Hanukkah growled, looking sullenly at the man with the book.
– «Of course, because mosquitoes are caught in fair battles», – Mamuka replied.
There is one thing you need to understand. If you harm the bird or somehow catch it in order to pluck the feathers, then the spirits of the Mamuka Indians will turn their backs on you. You will become a terrible person and you will never find unity with nature. That is, not to become a shaman, and then the leader of your tribe. So read this book out loud!
A feather headdress will help you become a chieftain or a shaman. A shaman is a spiritual person. He is cheerful and can make it rain or even ask him to stop pouring water. In simple words, he is a real wizard. A wise leader always consults with a shaman.
A friend of mine, Yungani, caused a dry thunderstorm. Thunder and lightning flashed, but it did not rain.
– «Mamuka! But how is it a thunderstorm without rain, is it possible»? – the lying dog was surprised.
– «Hanukkah! I myself would not have believed it if I had not seen it».
The birds were frightened by thunderstorms without rain and flew away, dropping their feathers on the ground. The wise Yungani collected many feathers. After he made the headdress, birds often began to fly to him, believing that the shaman is a big bird. In order to get rid of the annoying winged creatures, he took a drum in his hands and ran away from them, threateningly knocking on it. But the birds were not afraid, but only sang along with the shaman. The poor Indian did not immediately realize that they took him for theirs.
Shaman Yungani beat the tambourine under the roof of his urasa for a long time. Urasa is the home of the Northern Indians. Somewhere in the book it will be written about how to make an Indian dwelling. How to chase away the rain will be written in the same way, but a little further.
Now we are talking about feathers. You should not constantly search for them. You already have a lot of tasks. As much as you collect, you will collect as much. Very soon, when you start to look like a real Indian, people will follow you. They will become your future tribe.
You never quarrel with anyone for no reason. You may be teased, but then everything will change. You will become a real leader! Curiosity is the main trait of the Indians. Whoever teases you is just jealous. Future Indians will ask you questions: why and for what. Use their ignorance wisely. Never deceive your fellow tribesmen. You can first ask them to help you find the feathers. Never force anyone to do what they do not want.
Now look at the picture with the feather. Parts of it are signed there. Just look at the titles, if you remember it will be great. You can tell other Indians by showing them a page from this book so that they understand what the pen is made of.
– «Did you say something about the dream catcher»? – asked Hanukkah, yawning.
– «You are a very curious friend, but do not rush, but listen further», – Mamuka replied calmly, looking at the dog.
There is a legend about one sleeping bird. Sometimes she can be found on the road. She doesn’t move. Go around her and do not disturb her sleep. Once upon a time she flew, but now she is tired. She is no longer interested in our world. She found a new home. Anyone who breaks her peace can incur the wrath of the Giants or even the gods of Komaria. On the street you can often find her dirty feathers. You should not take them.
– «But how do I know whose feathers they are»? – asked Hanukkah.
– «Dirty feathers should not be taken! You can get sick»!
– «Will you tell me which feathers should not be touched»? – the dog asked.
– «Yes, but listen carefully and do not interrupt, although if you have questions, then ask», – Mamuka replied wisely.
According to legend, the sleeping bird flew so high that it became invisible. She decided to leave our planet and hide behind the clouds. Having reached the sun, she met a new world. She was burned and fell down like a stone, but already asleep. If you make at least some object out of her feathers, then it will not help, but will begin to harm you. According to legend, the bird will wake up and look for its feather. If you see a dirty feather on an Indian, be sure to explain it to him. Even if you are at odds with him. Perhaps you will save your future friend. Remember the shamanic wisdom:
«The bird chaser has bruised legs and often a bump on his head».
Never imitate a bird, the shaman is not a bird. He is not trying to learn to fly, he is only driving the big eagle away. If he comes down from heaven, he can steal you or other Indians and take with him. Yungani told how he collected a lot of feathers and tried to take off, but a large bird flew in and pecked out all the feathers, as it thought they were from its wings.
Giants from Giant also do not like it when the inhabitants of Komaria rise high and jump down like a bird. One Indian named «Black as a raven’s wing» was placed under house arrest after being seen jumping three steps on the porch. Not only did the madman fall and broke his knees, but he also lost his freedom and the feathers he found. We saw him on the street only at the end of summer. When the tribe left this land.
Remember the mosquito jar? Komaria has its own money! They are called Komarii. Now you will understand everything.
Quest from Mamuka: Feathers
Since you have already completed the task with the bank and the secret place, you can proceed to the next one. You need to find the box. You will put the feathers you found into it. It doesn’t matter how big they are. All summer you will come across different feathers. Some will be broken, they are also allowed to collect, but never touch dirty! The little ones will become part of the amulet or dream catcher. Large ones will become part of the headdress of the leader or shaman. With the pen, you can apply a real festive
