I am greatful you share your stories. I love listening with our children. This one in particular I listed to in times of trial. As I feel such peace and resonance. I myself scream I am not going back its too scary before 😅 yet I find a way even through some burns. And most of all I feel our ancestors in your voice. Your words. And that brings me the most peace of all. Even the smallest of persons in my family. My greatest thanks

In the modern age where there is a great shortage on storytellers it's awesome to have found this thank you Robert Lewis

Thank you for the valuable lesson in your story! Make great story for children's book!

Robert Lewis is one of the best storytellers I’ve ever heard!!

Best version I've ever heard ❤

Thank you! It's a little different from the way I heard it as kid, more animals, I love it. I'll be playing this for my granddaughters.

That was awesome. People often don't think I can do things bc I am small. That is a beautiful story and I am so glad I heard it. Thanks y'all

Gonna play that again for my grand daughter. .

I love the moral of this story. Your a excellent story teller. I’m 1/2 Cherokee. I’m preparing to go to go to Tahlequah, Oklahoma. My best friend lives next to the Cherokee Heritage center. I’ll be there a month or so. She’s also Cherokee. So we always visit the Cherokee Village & Museam. I love all that. Your story was a pleasure.🔥

Great storyteller! Yhe museum needs to keep him!

Great storyteller! Do more videos!

Such a great story , thank you

That was great! I love these stories! Thank you ❤️

Just as my Pop John Fisher told me stories as a wee, little girl. Patiently awaiting that glorious day to hear them again in God’s time.

Thank you for the story I needed to hear this ❤

Thank you for sharing this Mr Lewis

I really enjoyed listening to this story.

love this story.....

Robert....thank you SIR......

Love this story!! 🤗🤗🤗

thank you, i shall tell that to the 8th fire shining, my 2.5 year old son

Such a great story teller 😊 thank you for sharing 🧡

Thank you for your story!

I love how He tells the story really enjoyed it even if I am sensitive I got my own different message in the middle of it and I thought if ever will have children need share it with them but reaching the end of the story that is such a great example how do we really need to watch out because it is so true in the real life experience I wish I had someone near to stop me from my limitless empathy for all human beings who literally love to just take it all and sometimes even leaving you with no more energy to protect your health body spirit and mind so be aware of it ! At the same time watching and feeling people in need we often have no choice and there is always that risk and that price for it all I am not Cherokee but since I was little I felt strong connection and importance of knowing more about different cultures and people that feels just good 😊 in modern life I don't find any answer to life I actually tap into who I was when I was little child and using these all experience s and teaching from everyday of life into the now 💜💗🌝🌚🌸thank you for sharing the story it's good because you need to imagine it which brings back the time when I was small and listened to stories imagining them ;) and that word is so full of new discoveries

Thank you!

osiyo! I love that every story teller tells the first fire differently. Its so beautiful to hear everyones version, that all is the same concept with same outcome. Wado!

AMEN 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏

Very nice, thank you for sharing

Wow 😲 that's amazing

Wonderful Robert ♥️♥️♥️

Smallest people in the world, our babies, our children.

I LOve This

Nice story. Storytelling is an art. Well done Robert! Oha, Fred

Thank you

Much thanks

beautifully told

Beautiful story

💚💚💚 greetings from Finland

Good story brother... I heard a similar story when I was a child in North Carolina.. I think I heard it from a lumbee story teller... It was a similar setup but the possum ended up being the one who bought the fire back.. it's lack of hair was explained as being singed by the heat of the fire .

We saw the black snake shake, recently... Wife told me not to kill it.. I am glad I listened. Next time, the place had a young opossum.

I meet him in Houston Texas. Community event. Insanely funny

Great story.

Does anyone remember Michael Two Leaf Meadows and brother Charles Tallbear? Also story tellers, much older though.. miss them. Glad to too, to see them again, In this story

OSIYO, WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY, ARE YOU STILL TELLING THEM? WADO

Liked

I'm 6th generation Cherokee - in other words barely - however this story and this channel makes my heart swell with pride and I am glad to be a part of this heritage.

Thank you honey ❤️

Wow that is as good

thank you very much. Do you, or anyone know where I can hear it in the Cherokee tounge?

2012 I told this to a group

All-right.

good history

Thanks *and* if you don't tell me the "moral" it might live in me for a while until it begins to dawn from within. hopeful people won't get mad about my sharing this idea

A'ho 💓😁✨

Wado!

As an Aquarius autistic person who is partly of kituah heritage, I wholeheartedly resonate with this story and the water spider.

I will meet you one day, Mr. Lewis. We will talk for hours. We will have dinner. We will talk in the dim fIEr light. We will talk until the sUUN rises. You will leave me. I will be overtaken with grief. I will become depressed. I will shoot myself. In my last dying breaths I make one request to the lord almighty: reunite me with daddy Lewis

Thank you!

Wado
