To be able to make up stories has been a great gift to me from my ancestors and from the storytellers who were so numerous at Laguna Pueblo when I was growing up. I learned to read as soon as I could because I wanted stories without having to depend on adults to tell or read stories to me.

能够编故事是我的祖先给我的一份伟大的礼物,也是我成长过程中拉古纳普韦布洛许许多多的说书人给我的礼物。我尽可能快地学会了阅读,因为我想要的是故事,而不是依赖成年人给我讲故事或给我读故事。
