The King of Sharks: A Native American Myth from Hawaii
Retold by S. E. Schlosser
One day, the King of Sharks saw a beautiful girl swimming near the shore. He immediately fell in love with the girl.
Transforming himself into a handsome man, he dressed himself in the feathered cape of a chief and followed her to her village.
The villagers were thrilled by the visit of a foreign chief. They made a great luau, with feasting and games.
The King of Sharks won every game, and the girl was delighted when he asked to marry with her.
The King of Sharks lived happily with his bride in a house near a waterfall.
The King of Sharks, in his human form, would swim daily in the pool of water beneath the falls.
Sometimes he would stay underneath the water so long that his bride would grow frightened.
But the King of Sharks reassured her, telling her that he was making a place at the bottom of the pool for their son.
Before the birth of the child, the King of Sharks returned to his people.
He made his wife swear that she would always keep his feathered cape about the shoulders of their son.
When the child was born, his mother saw a mark upon his back which looked like the mouth of a shark.
It was then she realized who her husband had been.
The child's name was Nanave.
As he grew towards manhood, Nanave would swim daily in the pool beside the house.
Sometimes, his mother would gaze into the pool and see a shark swimming beneath the water.
Each morning, Nanave would stand beside the pool, the feathered cloak about his shoulders, and would ask the passing fishermen where they were going to fish that day.
The fisherman always told the friendly youth where they intended to go. Then Nanave would dive into the pool and disappear for hours.
The fishermen soon noticed that they were catching fewer and fewer fish.
The people of their village were growing hungry. The chief of the village called the people to the temple.
"There is a bad god among us," the chief told the people. "He prevents our fishermen from catching fish. I will use my magic to find him." The chief laid out a bed of leaves.
He instructed all the men and boys to walk among the leaves. A human's feet would bruise the tender leaves, but the feet of a god would leave no mark.
Nanave's mother was frightened.
She knew her son was the child of a god, and he would be killed if the people discovered his identity.
When it came turn for the youth to walk across the leaves, he ran fast, and slipped.
A man caught at the feathered cape Nanave always wore to prevent him from being hurt. But the cape fell from the youth's shoulders,.

Time for masks and costumes in Poland
In Poland, people typically only dress up on a few occasions, such as during carnival time and Christmas caroling. For Christmas caroling, groups of carolers traditionally dress up in costumes depicting biblical and folklore figures and go from house to house singing songs. Some common costumes included King Herod, angels, devils, and characters like Turon, who was dressed as a wild ox. The carolers would entertain neighbors and receive food or money in exchange. There are various regional forms of caroling traditions in Poland involving performances of nativity scenes and songs telling the story of Christ's birth.
Flying
Leonardo da Vinci was an excellent painter, architect and inventor in the 15th-16th centuries who produced many studies and designs related to human flight, including early concepts of helicopters and hang gliders. While most of his flying machine designs were impractical, the hang glider design has been successfully reconstructed and flown. The first successful flights with humans aboard balloons and gliders helped progress the development of aviation in the 18th century. The Wright brothers' airplane, which incorporated a motor, achieved the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight in 1903.
Wright Brothers
The Wright brothers were interested in flight from a young age after their father gave them a toy helicopter. They began experimenting with gliders to understand wing design and aerodynamics. Wilbur and Orville built a wind tunnel to study how air flows over wings. In 1903, they successfully tested their motor-powered airplane, called the Flyer, achieving the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight. Their achievement at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903 marked a major breakthrough in aviation history.
Magic leaf
An old, mean woman living alone was skeptical of a starving tramp who came to her door asking for food and water. He claimed to have a magic leaf that could make soup. She reluctantly allowed him into her kitchen and provided a pot of water and some spices. When the soup was ready and they sat down to eat, the tramp revealed the "magic" leaf was just a common bay leaf. The soup was delicious and the tramp had tricked the woman into showing kindness to a stranger through harmless deception.
Janosik
Janosik was given magic gifts as a child from three witches - a shirt, belt, and alpenstock - that gave him super speed, strength, and bullet resistance. He used these powers to rob rich people with friends and give to the poor.

Legend of Wars and Sawa
- 1. Legend of Wars and Sawa
- 3. At that time a young fisherman Wars lived on the Vistula River, in a Masovian forest. He was an extremely hard-working man and devoted to the occupation he performed. On the boat he built, he sailed out eagerly and always came back with nets full of fish. He was very much in love with adventure. He loved to admire landscapes, observe animal life, listen to birds singing. He especially enjoyed the night fishing, during which he learned the life of the forest in the moonlight.
- 4. During one of the trips he sat in a boat with a cast net. Suddenly the water moved and a beautiful girl emerged from its waves. She had long, blond hair and beautiful eyes. The boy couldn't take his eyes off her. He was surprised when he saw that the girl had a fish tail from half the body, covered with a silver scale. The mermaid sang beautifully. He watched her from behind every night.
- 5. One day the fisherman decided that he must confess her love. He quietly came out from behind the reeds. The mermaid interrupted her song and asked:- Why are you watching me? - Forgive me, please, but when I saw you I fell in love with you. Please, stay with me. - But how is it possible, you are human and I am a mermaid? - It doesn't matter - saying that, he took her hands and hugged her. - Will you be my wife? "I want it so badly," - she said.
- 6. Wars kissed Sawa. Then Mermaid turned into a woman. They loved each other very much and lived happily ever after.
- 7. The name of the capital of Poland - Warsaw was derived from their names: Wars+Sawa. The mermaid is still in the coat of arms of the capital of POLAND. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warszawska_Syrenka#/media/Plik :Syrenka_warszawska0205.jpg https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warszawska_Syrenka#/media/Plik:Syrenka_Warszawska.jpg https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Warszawy#/media/Plik:POL_Warszawa_COA.svg
