Southeastern Indians, By John R. Swanton, 1929
A Humming Bird challenged a Crane to a race.
The Crane consented and selected the course from the spot on the stream
where they then
were to a spring at its head.
When the word was given the Humming Bird flew swiftly up the stream but
soon lost sight of the water and found himself in the woods.
Then he returned to the stream and decided to fly over the water, always
keeping in sight of it.

The Crane knew the course
of the stream and when the Humming
Bird arrived at the spring he found that his rival had been there for some
time.
