The Legend of the Hammerstone
by B.C.
There once was a boy named Cumbraishiye. He was walking along in the woods, and he say a mysterious stone by the river. He thought it looked like hammers dented it, so he called it a "hammerstone." He used it to carve the shape of an arrowhead. He then became famous for inventing the "hammerstone." It had good use. Every day Cumbraishiye went into the woods, down to the river, and got another. He got hundred of hammerstones, and gave them to his people, the Lenape Indians. His people would never forget him. One day, he went down to the river, and he was feeling pretty bad because the Pilgrims were coming to ruin their land. All of a sudden, there was shot of a gun. Cumbraishiye fell to the ground. Back at his tribe, his people were waiting for him to come back. Many moons later, they found out he was dead. They would never forget Cumbraishiyets. He was a good Indian.
