§ 10. Zuñi Folk Tales
One other supreme achievement in the adaptation of Amerind folk-tales is Frank Hamilton Cushing’s Zuñi Folk Tales, almost the only convincing rendition of the non-sacred stories of the South-west. Particularly illuminating of the Amerind story method is the Zuñi version of the story of the Cock and the Mouse, and the adventure of the Twins of War and Chance among the Unborn Men of the Underworld, one of the few examples of pure Amerind prose.
