-the storm god had a wild thunder bird that terrorized the people when it had too much energy
-so he made islands along the Gulf of Mexico to give his thunder bird his own personal places to go let off steam where he couldn't hurt anyone
-the storm god loved his thunder bird as his trusty companion and his pet, but he also wanted the humans to adore him
-soon all kinds of wild creatures flocked there because there were no human inhabitants that could be harmed
-but this worked the other way as well, for soon men became greedy and wanted to hunt the wild birds and beasts that lived on the island
-the animals called out to the storm god to save them
-the storm god sent his wrath down on the humans that tried to hunt the animals living peacefully on their islands and he protects them to this day
How the North Wind Lost His Hair:
-the north and the south wind hated each other since the beginning of time
-since they were opposites from the core they could never quite see eye to eye
-the north wind was old and bitter because he was never loved and no one was ever excited when he came like people were when the young, warm south wind blew
-one day the north wind's bitterness got the best of him and he decided to invade the south wind's territory and never leave
-they had a battle and a great storm resulted
-eventually the youth of the south wind overpowered the north wind
-as a victory prize, the south wind demanded the north wind's long gray hair
-he threw it all over the trees to serve as a reminder that this is his territory and that the north wind is no longer welcome here
