FIREMAKER\n\nA MEXICAN LEGEND  \nWRITTEN AND ADAPTED BY JAN M.MIKE ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES REASONER  \nTROLL ASSOCIATES  \nLong ago,a small village stood beside the cliff thatseparated the land from the sky.In the middle of thevillage,there lived an opossum in a large mango tree.Opossum slept during the day and climbed about lookingfor food at night.  \nOpossum was so small that most of the villagerspaid her little heed.Even Iguana,the lizard who livedbeneath the mango tree,paid no attention to her at all.  \nIguana was the Great Firemaker.Tall as any human,he was puffed full of pride.Only he knew how to call outfire from sticks.And when rain washed the fire away,only he could make it blaze again.  \nOne night,as Opossum woke,she heard Iguanacomplaining to his wife.\"It is I who should rule thevillage,\"he said,\"for I am the Great Firemaker.\"  \n“But my husband,there is more to the village thanjust your fire,\"said his wife.  \n“More than my fire!\"Iguana shouted.“We shall see.”  \nLate that night,as Opossum hung from a tree branchnibbling a sweet mango,Iguana crept out to the center ofthe village.He knelt down and swept the village fire intoa hollow gourd that he fastened around his waist.Thenhe ran to the cliff and climbed up,up,up toward the sky.  \n\"Are you coming back soon,Iguana?\"called Opossum.Iguana did not answer.
