Smoke Signals - Bartering Stories for a Ride
Velma:
Hey Thomas, need a ride?
Thomas Builds-the-Fire:
Yeah!
Velma:
What are we goin to trade for it? We're Indians, remember? We barter!
Thomas Builds-the-Fire:
A story.
Velma:
Better be good.
Thomas Builds-the-Fire:
Arnold got arrested, you know. But he got lucky. They charged him with attempted murder. Then they plea-bargined that down to assault with a deadly weapon. Then they plea-bargined that down to being an Indian in the 20th century. Then he got two years at Walla Walla.
Lucy:
What do you think?
Velma:
I think it's a fine example of the oral tradition.
