The Capture of Fire Goodah, a noted magician, captured a piece of lightning as it struck a dead tree during a storm. He imprisoned it as a convenient way to make fire for his use and ignored demands that he share this own wonderful discovery. At last the tribe became so enraged with Goodah that a group of elders called up a whirlwind Goodah had made a fire with his just as piece of lightning. The whirlwind picked up the fire and scattered it all over the country, and fire became common property when members of the tribe picked up enough burning to make fires for themselves. wood To escape the and laughter of the tribe jeers Goodah fled to the hills to sulk, and to plan revenge.
