That Third Wish

The old Indian chief had lived an upright life, had helped and befriended the weaker Indians, and was dearly loved and highly respected by all of his tribe. So one day the Great Spirit appeared before him and told him that because he had been so fine a character, he would be given three wishes, and anything he wished for he could have.

The Indian chief stretched out his arm and pointed to the mighty lake, so wide that eye would not reach the other side, and he said:

"See-um Big Lake?"

The Great Spirit said yes. And the chief said: "All whiskey!"
