For Mrs. Hodson
Reindeer Sisters
Once upon a time in the cold lands, there lived nine reindeer sisters. In spring, they traveled the tundra far and wide, looking for lichens, sedges, and green grasses to eat.
From time to time they would pass by the human villages. There, the cattle would look up from their milking.
You there, reindeer sisters! You are silly to live out on your own in the world. For without human walls, the weather grows cruel in winter. You should come live with us, and then our humans would put you up in a warm barn with hay to live out the storms.

she snorted, we ought to be the ones giving them to ourselves, for we are wild reindeer, proud and free.
At this the sisters nodded and stamped their approval. They trekked out beneath the spring sun, thinking about what they might name themselves.
In time, they passed a third human village. There, the sheep looked up from their grazing.
"You there, reindeer sisters! You are mad to live out on your own in the world. For without human shepherds, the world is full of tireless wolves who will eat you! You should come live with us, and then our humans would set watch over you while you eat, and you will
