âWait!â exclaimed Question Woman. âSo, you and I are walepú? After all, arenât we both crows and humans?â
âSister, yes, we are both crows and humans, but that doesnât mean we are walepú. Besides, if we were walepú, we wouldnât say so, not while others are listening. We just havenât forgotten the stories.â
âBut I do forget the stories, and so do you,â said Question Woman. âI have to ask you a question so you can remember a story to tell me.â
Answer Woman chuckled.
âWhy are you laughing at me?â
âIâm laughing at both of us,â answered Answer Woman. âThatâs our story, yours and mine. We need each other. Which is what every story from this wondrous mountain teaches. And what the Forgetters have forgotten.â
âOh, I forgot, weâre telling Forgetter Stories, arenât we?â said Question Woman.
âSo, ask a question.â
âI canât think of one. What should I do?â
âLook around. See the outcropping of rocks on that round hill just below us. See the curve of the hill against the blue sky. Whatever you see can make you ask a question.â
âActually, Iâm not looking at the hill. I see Copeland Creek making its way to the Cotati plain. I donât have a question, but Copeland Creek reminds me of the story of the pretty woman and the necklace.â
âYes, the pretty woman didnât think she was worthy of a man.â
âIt was a love story,â remembered Question Woman.
âYes,â answered Answer Woman. âI guess I donât have to tell you that one again.â
âArenât we talking about the Forgetters? Tell a love story about them.â
âI already have one in mind.â
âSo, tell it.â
âI will if you give me a chance. Youâre so impatient.â
âWhat is it?â
âTake a breath and Iâll tell you the story of a woman who invents a lover.â
âIâm listening.â
