In the ancient Native American tale of Jumping Mouse, a mouse once lived with other mice in their village, and he spent all his time as other mice did: gathering seeds, moving pebbles, and running about. But all the time he heard a strange roaring sound. When he mentioned it to the other mice, they scoffed at him. But eventually, Jumping Mouse had to find out what the roaring sound was. He met Raccoon, who took him to the Great River. where he met Brother Frog. Frog told him that if he wanted medicine of his own, he should jump as high as he could. Jumping Mouse jumped and saw the sacred mountains, and that is how he pot his name.
Once he had seen the mountains, Jumping Mouse went back to his people to tell them about his vision. But they would not listen to him. They could not see through his eyes. They could only perceive what others before them had perceived. So Jumping Mouse set off alone to find the sacred mountains. Jumping Mouse gave his eyes to other animals in order that they should see, which left him blind. With their help, he continued his quest. Finally, he reached the summit of the sacred mountain and found the great lake where all the world is reflected. Left alone with only his sense of touch, Jumping Mouse was content, knowing the great Eagle would finally get him. An eagle swooped down, he heard a rush of wings, and everything went black.
Suddenly, Jumping Mouse awoke and realized he could see colors. A voice asked him if he wanted medicine, and he said yes. The voice told him to jump as high as he could. The wind caught him and took him high into the air, where he could see Buffalo and Raccoon and the medicine lake and the sacred mountain. He saw his friend Frog by the lake and called down to him, “Hello, Brother Frog.” The frog called back, “Hello, Brother Eagle!”
