Once upon a time, all animals looked the same - on the inside. Each year they would gather at a sacred cave deep within the forest to celebrate their unity. Together, they would take off their skins. Raven shed feathers, bear his fur, and salmon her scales. Stripped of their separate identities, they rejoiced in their unity and danced together. But one day, human comes and laughs at what he sees. Embarrassed, the animals run, and that was the last time they revealed themselves this way.
