<h2>THE SOUTHERN BRIDE</h2>
<p class="subtitle">Cherokee</p>
<p><span class="dropcap">N</span>orth went traveling, and after a long time,
and after visiting many tribes, he fell in love
with the daughter of South.</p>
<p>South and his wife said, “No. Ever since you came
the weather has been cold. If you stay we will all
freeze.”</p>
<p>North said he would go back to his own country.
So South let his daughter marry him. Then North
went back to his own country with South’s daughter.
All the people there lived in ice houses.</p>
<p>The next day, after sunrise, the houses began to
leak. The ice began to melt. It grew warmer and
warmer. Then North’s people came to him. They
said, “It is the daughter of the South. If she lives
here all the lodges will melt. You must send her back
to her father.”</p>
<p>North said, “No.”</p>
<p>But every day it grew hotter. The lodges began to
melt away. The people said North must send his wife
home. Therefore North had to send her back to South.</p>
