Series Raven tales (1575)
Synopsis Raven tells Windazi the story about the rock out at sea that looks like a bear. Once there was a great grizzly bear that bullied all of the other animals. When the other bears go to Raven for help, Raven devises a plan. He taunts Great Bear, questioning his strength and courage, and challenges him to a jumping contest. As they jump from rock to rock, Great Bear grows more and more tired. He becomes too tired to jump any farther, so he stops. Being stubborn, he stays put and refuses to ask for help. Over time, he is turned to stone and the rock remains on the beach to this day to teach the people humility. With this story, Windazi realizes he needs to ask for help, too, and learns a valuable lesson about his character.
