The Legend of the Spanish Moss

When a young Native American maiden, who prides herself in being more special than the other children in her village, loses her pride and joy to the branches of the Cyrus trees, she realizes that the “old common crow” is far wiser than she had given him credit for. When the maiden flees into the swamp where danger lurks she becomes confronted with the crow’s warning, “Never burn your bridges for you never know who you will need”, and quickly discovers that hurting feelings and shunning others does nothing but bring hurt and discomfort to oneself.
