THE ROBIN AND THE SALMON BERRY
VIDENTLY Klayukat expected the children the next morning, for he had a basket of hazelnuts cracked for them. "You eat these," he said, "and while I stitch, I will tell you the story we spoke of."
"But first, Klayukat, what is a salmon berry?" asked Antonio. "Has it anything to do with a salmon?"
"Nothing to do with a salmon except its color. It is salmon colored when it is ripe. It is a berry that is something like your blackberry, only it is not black, and it does not grow on a vine. It grows on a bush."
"Oh!"
The children began crunching the nuts, and Klayukat began his tale.
Robin and Salmon Berry were sisters. They lived in different parts of the same house. Robin
