The porcupine often visited the beaver&#039;s house,<br \/>but the latter did not like to have him come because he left quills<br \/>there. One time, when the porcupine said that he wanted to go out<br \/>to the beaver&#039;s house, the beaver said, &quot;All right, I will<br \/>take you out on my back. \u00bb He started, but instead of going<br \/>to his house he took him to a stump in the very middle of the lake.<br \/>Then he said to him, &quot;This is my house,&quot; left him there, and went ashore.<\/p><p>While the porcupine was upon this stump he began singing a song,<br \/>\u201cLet it become frozen. Let it become frozen so that I can cross<br \/>to Wolverine-man&#039;s place. \u00bb He meant that he wanted to walk<br \/>shore on the ice. So the surface of the lake froze, and he walked home.<\/p><p>Some time after this, when the two friends were again playing together,<br \/>the porcupine said, \u201cYou come now. It is my turn to carry you<br \/>on my back. Then the beaver got on the porcupine&#039;s back, and<br \/>the porcupine took him to the top of a very high tree, after which<br \/>he came down and left him. For a long time the beaver did not know<br \/>how to get down, but finally he climbed down, and they say that<br \/>this is what gives the broken appearance to tree bark.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mythology Haida-Tlingit-Tsimshian Wiki The Tlingits are an indigenous ethnic group of North America, more specifically an indigenous people of Alaska.
