Hiawatha was a young Red Indian boy. He lived with his old grand-mother, Nokomis in a Wigwam. Hiawatha learnt to love birds and animals from his grandmother. He used to talk to them whenever he met them. Birds and animals also loved him and talked to him. All birds and animals were his friends. He learnt their languages, their names and all their secrets. He called the birds ‘Hiawatha’s Chickens’ and animals ‘Hiawatha’s Brothers’.
