Thunder and Whirlwind
A Yaudanchi Yokut Legend
Thunder and Whirlwind each had a boy. Thunder said: "You cannot
find your boy. I have hidden him from you." He had put him
away enclosed in stone. Then the Whirlwind rushed. He whirled by
the rock, tore the top off, and found his boy. Then the Whirlwind
took Thunder's boy and whirled off with him. He took him far away
into the water.
Thunder began to look for his son. It became foggy. There was fine
rain all around. Thunder came with great noise. He hurled the rain
and fog aside. He found his son. So each of them succeeded in getting
his boy again.
