Humming bird drinks dew because he made a bet with a crane that he could swim across the lake faster than he, and lost. Purple sage is in the desert because a woman fell in love with a star, had a witch turn her into a bush, and then the star fell on her, giving her the ashy appearance. Sickness did not exist in the world until two Indians killed a messenger from the Great Spirit. The rainbow got heavy with water, fell onto a cactus, the cactus thorns caught it, and kept the colors, that is why the cactus flower has so many colors. Dogs ears are floppy because they are ashamed of letting the wolves steal their meat.
