    night the hunter who was watching the fire fell asleep, and the white Bear stole out of his hiding place and he rolled over and over, until he put out the fire. But the robin who was watching him, searched through the fire and got one little spark, which he flapped with his wings, until he made it a good fire again, but he went so near the fire that he scorched his breast and from that day till this every robin has a red breast.
