On a Crow rite of passage, Dancing Crane fasted until the Spirits spoke. A grizzly appeared and he killed it, and from the skin an eagle appeared which carried him aloft until he fell and awakened from the vision. Forest ablaze from a lightning strike, he fled and fell into a stream, his leg crushed by a falling tree. Found, and nursed to health, but a cripple, he is socially ostracized because superstition. He devotes himself to helping animals. His prayers for each animal's gift are granted: eagle eye, fox-like cunning, fleet of foot. He warns the tribe of an invasion, and becomes a big man.
