The Hidden One (Canadian, American Indian, Native American Folktales) Printed in Australia’s School Magazine, Sept. 1996, and Cricket, Oct. 1998 A long time ago, in a village by a lake, there lived a great hunter who was invisible.
He was called the Hidden One. It was known that any young woman who could see him would become his bride. Many were the hopeful young women who visited his wigwam at the far end of the village. Each was tested by the hunter’s sister, who was called the Patient One. In the same village lived two sisters who had lost their mother. “Don’t you dare tell our father,” she would say, “or next time will be worse!” When the father came home, he would ask in dismay, “Why is she burnt again?”

When Omoni and Peony saw how beautiful Pear Blossom was, they were jealous of her. One day, the village was having a festival. "I am most grateful, Honourable Mother," said Pear Blossom. When she reached the fields, Pear Blossom dropped the basket in dismay. "DO-O-O-O" bellowed a black ox as it emerged from the long grass.
