He was a man who had a beard so long he could tie one’s body while he ate them alive. (P.S. Tash means long beard.) “As I grew up I did the chores, carrying in the coal apd wood and scrubbing the floors. As I got bigger I also noticed the coal buckets did too. One tale I heard was of an old lady who wanted help-she said an old big black dog had been around her farm house. She said, ‘Don’t hurt him just take this stick and run him off.’ Turned out it was a mean bear! “Now days you hear of large apelike beings \ and places I went to before but where no man does travel anymore. It’s not that I’m afraid-it’s just the tales I heard when small. I don’t spin yarns to my kin as my kin did me-abput cannibal chickens, hunters who hunt the hunters, ' wild dogs and cats, snake dens, disappearing persons, and mentally retarded per sons ° who take to the mountains to live as animals. He ran through the woods Just like a man- Just as fast as one can. Though everyone seeing him Said it was a bear Seems all he left behind Was some black smelly hair. Up in the mountains If a footprint you find. You can bet that it will be . mine /' .* Ilv , They calf us backward And behind the time, But wo don’t jive with no past- We tell our children and they make it last.
