YONDER MOUNTAIN

A CHEROKEE LEGEND

By: Robert H. Bushyhead

FONDLY

In a loving or caring way

This bear fondly protects her cub.

She is kind and gentle.

MIST

A fine spray or light fog

A mist is a very light rain. You might

need an umbrella if it is misting
outside.

PEAK

The pointed top of something

The man standing is holding a flag

on the peak of the mountain.

RUGGED

Rough or uneven

Cowboys ride this rugged, or uneven,

trail through the woods.

PAUSING

Stopping briefly

This is what the pause button looks

like on most electronic devices.
When you push it you are pausing the
recording.

STEEP

Having a sharp slope

The mountain climber is using a rope

to pull himself up the steep slope.

EXAMINED

Looked closely at

She examined the stamp collection

by using a magnifying glass.

PLEADED

Argued or begged

The two lawyers pleaded their case

in front of the judge.
