Abusing medicine can be very dangerous.
On a beautiful day, Wesakechak sees two chickadees getting extra energy from their special medicine berries. He begs them to share and they do, cautioning him to take only one at a time and only when he is very tired. Wesakechak overdoes it, floats off the earth only to fall headfirst into a swamp. Later, he spies two cranes who toss their eyes to the sky to help improve their eyesight. Again, Wesakechak begs for the secret and overdoes it. He is blinded. Eventually, the creator shows him how to restore his sight, but first insists on a promise from Wesakechak that he will not abuse strong medicine again.
