A great race was held between the two legged and the four legged as the world was deciding its order. A young female bison was favored to win for the four legged, a young Lakota man and the birds ran for the two legged. In the end the young man fell behind as had all the birds except one. The magpie, who during all the racing and competing was forgotten about, rode on the back of the bison and in the end flew ahead and won the race for the two legged.
— We hope to be that witty and resourceful bird.
