The man and the bird

Once there was an old man that was about to die. He said to his to his eldest son " son go find me the blue jay of life. Tell him to come to this very spot." The son said "Yes father I will find the blue jay and bring him to you." So the son went into the forest and looked for the blue jay. Then the son sat down to take a nap. He was so tired of walking he could not even stand up. He laid down the tree and slept. When he was sleeping he felt like he was flying! "I'm flying,I'm flying!" he said. When he looked down all he saw..."Blue jays!" the son said. "I can't believe it." One of the birds said "We will fly you to our shaman, Watana." So the bird flew him to see the shaman. When the son saw the shaman he bowed before him. " O great Watana,will you help me save my father. He is very sick and needs tending to or he will die." Watana said " I will help you father, for a price. All I ask is for food." So the son went to get food for the old blue jay. He gathered nuts, berries,and sweet grass. Then he went back to the shaman. I have brought you your food o great Watana. When Watana eat he grew and grew and grew until he grew into a man. He had a bull skull chained to a stick and a bone through his nose. The son said " Can you come to save my father." Watana said " I will help you save him now. So they flew to the sons father. When they reached the house the sons father was so pale you could see right through him. " I will heal you" said Watana. So he hovered over the father and a magical light came over him and then... Foosh! The sons father looked like he was a young man again! The son was so amazed he asked " How did you do that?" The shaman just shrugged and sat down with his skull. He put the skull on the wall and said " Feed me." When he eat he shrank until he was a blue jay. " I will come to you if only you hit the skull and if you don't feed me i will not come again."
