what is a conflict jo and laurie would have in modern time!

Grey Eagle had White Raven over to visit one day. Grey Eagle had many treasures in his home that he kept in small jars he hung on the wall. He had the sun, the moon, the stars, fresh water, and fire stashed in the jars. White Raven felt it was greedy of Grey Eagle to keep all these things for himself, so when Grey Eagle left the room, White Raven stole them all and flew away. He wanted to share the treasures, so first he hung the sun in the sky to light up his journey. He did the same with the moon and stars. Then, he poured the fresh water on land to help create rivers and lakes. He took fire out of its jar and looked around for a place to put it. The smoke from the fire blew in his feathers as he carried it, and slowly turned him black. That is how the Earth received its gifts and how the White Raven became black.

There is a white bird carrying a flaming stick as it flies. The smoke is blowing back at the bird and turning the white bird black.

PICK EVERYONE THAT IS RIGHT

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo.

They have plenty of ambergris, because whales abound in these seas, and also cachalots. And since they catch great numbers of both, they are never short of ambergris; for you know it is the whale that produces ambergris. They have leopards and lynxes and lions also in great numbers. Other beasts, such as harts, stags, and roebuck and such-like game animals, are also abundant, besides game-birds of many kinds. There are also many ostriches of huge size. The great diversity of birds, quite different from ours, is truly marvelous.

Read the adapted excerpt from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
"But I should have mentioned that before the principal person began his oration, he cried out three times, Langro debul san (these words,
and the former, were afterwards repeated, and explained to me). Whereupon Immediately about fifty of the inhabitants came and cut the
strings that fastened the left side of my head, which gave me the liberty of turning it to the right, and of observing the person and gesture of
him that was to speak. He appeared to be of a middle age, and taller than any of the other three who attended him, whereof one was a
page that held up his train, and seemed to be somewhat longer than my middle finger, the other two stood one on each side, to support
him. He acted every part of an orator, and I could observe many periods of threatenings, and others of promises, pity, and kindness."
