(The beautiful Bluebird after getting its blue feathers. Source)
- Bluebird was not always blue. He used to be a very ugly color.
- He found a lake that didn't have a river connected to it and bathed there four times every morning for four mornings. Every time he took a bath he sang a magic song
- Change song to roses are red, violets are blue?
- After the fourth bath on the fourth morning, Bluebird shed all his feathers and spent the day without any feathers. When he took a bath the next morning, he came out of the lake with blue feathers
- Maybe Bluebird doesn't lose the feathers but they just go colorless on the 4th day?
- Coyote crossed paths with Bluebird and was curious on how he turned blue. Bluebird told him, and since he also wanted to be blue, he bathed in the lake four times for four mornings, singing the song each time
- On the fifth day, Coyote came out blue. He was so proud of his new color that he went around showing it off to all the other animals. He got distracted of all this new attention that he ran into a stump, covering the blue with dust.
- Maybe Coyote fell off a cliff and rolled down it instead?
