The Wolf Man
This story reminded me of the old tale about a baby being brought up by wolves. I thought at first that it would possibly be a scary story about how the werewolf came to be or something like that but was pleasantly surprised. I also liked how the village did not end up punishing the man-wolf and ended up punishing his two wives for trying to frame his murder.
The Buffalo Stone
I can picture writing a storytelling post about this but instead of a buffalo stone using it as maybe a heads up penny you find lying on the ground that is supposed to bring you good luck. I can also picture this story being told to the young children among the Blackfoot when they first ask why the family is so happy to find a Buffalo Stone. I was really interested in the process of finding the Buffalo Stone. It was alluring to find out that if the Blackfoot hear a bird's chip they know that a Buffalo Stone is close by.
The Rolling Rock
This story made me laugh because I could picture an old man running for his life as a large boulder rolled down a hill after him. It reminded me of some cartoon you would find that included Bugs Bunny or other Looney Tunes character.

I commented on your intro a while back, so I chose this post for my second comment because I always have a hard time choosing which unit to read. It's interesting to get a look at different units. All of the stories you wrote about seem really interesting. I also like the idea you had for a storytelling post based on The Buffalo Stone. The picture you chose for the last story is also good and your comments make me want to read the story!
