1. The Brave Jumping Mouse: A Hopi Story Adapted by Tinoy James

2. Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a little mouse named Jumping Mouse. He was curious and brave, always wondering what lay beyond his home in the grassy meadow.

3. One sunny day, Jumping Mouse decided to go on an adventure. "I want to see the far-off mountains!" he said to his friends. They shook their heads, too afraid to leave their cozy homes.

4. As Jumping Mouse hopped along, he met a frog sitting by a bubbling brook. "Where are you going, little mouse?" asked the frog. "I'm going to the mountains!" Jumping Mouse replied bravely.

5. Beware of the dangers," croaked the frog. "But if you are determined, you will find your way." With a kind smile, the frog gave Jumping Mouse a magical pebble for protection.

6. Jumping Mouse continued his journey and soon found himself in a dark forest. He heard rustling in the bushes and saw two shining eyes. It was a fierce wolf!

7. After many days and nights, Jumping Mouse reached a vast desert. He felt tired and thirsty, but he kept hopping. "I must reach the mountains," he whispered to himself.

8. Finally, after a long and exhausting journey, Jumping Mouse stood at the foot of the great mountains. The air was fresh and cool, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.

9. As he climbed higher, he saw a beautiful eagle soaring above. The eagle flew down and said, "Little mouse, you have a brave heart. For your courage, I will give you the gift of sight to see the world from above."

10. With a gentle touch, the eagle transformed Jumping Mouse into a majestic eagle. Now, he could soar high and see the entire land. He was no longer just a little mouse but a symbol of bravery and adventure.

11. Jumping Mouse, now an eagle, returned to his friends in the meadow. He told them of his grand adventure and encouraged them to be brave and explore the world beyond their homes.

12. And so, the story of the Brave Jumping Mouse became a legend, reminding all who heard it that with courage and determination, even the smallest creature can achieve great things.
