for their men,and they felt sad.Then they shut down the computer and held their stones tight.When their mother returned,they told her the legend of the Apache Tears.They took turns speaking,without talking over each other.Mrs.Yates was touched to see how the story had affected her children.“Can you see the tear of an Apache woman?”Paco asked her,as he held his stone up to the light.Mrs.Yates took the stone and held it up to the light.“I think I do see it,”she said.“Its a tear for the man she lost,and its a tear for the sad children he left behind.”She gave the stone back to Paco,closed his fingers over it,and squeezed his hand lightly.“Its a tear that says I wish my children were happy.”Paco and Tala gave each other a long look.They understood that their father was not coming back and that they needed to find a way to live peacefully as a family again.The Black Stones Level T 34Table of ContentsThe Stones.4Volcanoes and Magic.8The Experiment.12Searching for Answers.16Apache

1920Paco noticed that his sister was rubbing her stone between her fingers as she read,and he wondered if she was making a wish.Tala didnt usually like legends;she enjoyed reading about science.But Paco could tell that his sister was really interested in this story.Paco decided that he would read more about volcanoes and try to understand how the river made rough rocks into smooth stones.Maybe he would finally understand why these things interested his sister so much.For now,Paco and Tala decided to write down the legend so that they would have it to remember.Apache TeardropsThe Legend of the Apache TearsLong,long ago,before the white men came,the Apaches roamed free.But a time came when the white men began to move west in search of new land.Hoping to protect their lands,Apache warriors came out to meet them,but the white men killed many Apache warriors.Some were driven to the edge of a cliff.Rather than be captured,the Apache warriors jumped from the cliff to their deaths.The Apache women heard of their warriors deaths,and they were filled with great pain.Their despair was so deep that the Great Father embedded their tears into the black stones that rested in the river.Whoever carries these stones will have good luck always.And whoever keeps these stones close will never again cry tears,for the Apache women have cried tears in their place.The Black Stones Level T 56Mrs.Yates stood up from the rock where she had been sitting quietly for the last half hour.She had been thinking about how difficult her life had become.The death of her husband three years ago had left her very sad.Somehow her children had taken the anger they felt over their fathers death and turned it against each other.If only they could learn to get along,she thought as she made her way down to the river.If only they could be friends.Mrs.Yates dragged her twins apart and sat them down on either side of her.She waited to see if either of them would apologize,but neither of them said a word.“Hey,let me see!”her brother called.Tala groaned and closed her fist tightly over the stones.If she were quick enough,she might be able to hide them from her twin.Tala hugged her knees and listened to her brothers footsteps as he ran over to her.When he was behind her,she rose and started to walk away.“Come on!”Paco said.“Show me whats in your hand.”Tala knew that if she showed him the stones,her brother would beg her to give them to him.She knew that he would keep on begging until she blew up or gave in.Tala swung around to face him.“These stones are mine!”she shouted.“I found them,and Im keeping them,no matter what you say.”“Just show them to me!”Paco shouted back as he grabbed her fist and tried to pry it open.“Mom!”Tala cried.“Mom!Pacos bothering me again.”The Black

went back to the search page,typed in Apache Tears,and waited as several results came up.One website mentioned the Pinal Apache,which was a name once given to a band of Apache in Arizona,where Tala and Paco lived.“Lets try that one,”Paco said,and his sister agreed.Paco began to see that he was tired of fighting about every little thing.The webpage showed an illustration of an Apache warrior.Tala and Paco read the poem on the webpage slowly and carefully.The Black Stones Level T“I was the one who found the stones,”Tala said.“Paco tried to take them away from me.Its his fault.I didnt do anything.”“Yes,you did!”Paco yelled.“You wouldnt even let me see what they looked like.I saw you holding them up to the light.I just wanted to look at them.”“Theyre mine!”Tala shouted.Mrs.Yates closed her eyes.Their fighting was making her tired.78Volcanoes and Magic“Your arguments make me very unhappy,”Mrs.Yates said softly.“You are brother and sistertwins,even!You could be best friends for your entire lives if you would only try a little harder to get along.Will you try?”Tala and Paco stared silently at the river.Mrs.Yates could tell that they did not plan to get along,now or ever.She sighed and held out her hand.“Give me the stones,Tala,”she said.“But thats not fair,”Tala whined.“I found them,not Paco.Theyre mine.”Mrs.Yates waited.Tala was filled with anger,but she dropped the shiny black stones onto her mothers palm.The Black Stones Level T“I was the one who found the stones,”Tala said.“Paco tried to take them away from me.Its his fault.I didnt do anything.”“Yes,you did!”Paco
