As Raven flew over the forest, some of the salmonberries that he was carrying in his beak fell into the river. The berries washed out into the ocean where, “They grew and they grew until each sprouted a tail. Then two eyes and a mouth, both male and female.” Readers of all ages will enjoy this story about the origin of the salmon and its food chain and life cycle.
