Cree legend often told to their children: On a clear, moonlit night, one can see the Rabbit in the full of the moon. So, how did Rabbit get his wish to go to the moon? Of all the birds, Crane was the only one to fly high enough, and to have wings large enough, that agreed to carry Rabbit. For Crane's good deed, Rabbit rewarded the great bird with a red crown. Wearing its "red headdress" to this day, Crane flies neck and head extended. It's legs, trailing like an earthbound afterthought, are so long because they are stretched by the burden of carrying Rabbit to the moon. "Crane The Noblest Flyers" - Alice Lindsay Price
