Excerpt from "Why the Diver Duck has so Few Tail Feathers" He tried his luck as a fisherman and with such success that he captured an enormous fish, a fish so rich
in fat that with the oil Manabozho was able to form a small lake. Wishing to be generous, and at the same
time having a cunning plan of his own, he invited all the birds and beasts of his acquaintance to come
and feast upon the oil, telling them that the order in which they partook of the banquet would decide how
fat each was to be for all time to come.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
