A coyote was traveling through various prairies and hills with his keg on his back, looking for food. He came across a moose feeding in some willows. He set his kettle down and began tying his hair in knots. He twisted his whiskers up, pulling his lips out and causing a kink in his tail. He then took a step out into the open, near the willows.
The moose raised his head. The coyote rolled onto his belly and began to move backward like a caterpillar, making noises the whole time. When the moose noticed this, he began to laugh. Coyote stood up and attempted to walk, but pretended his legs couldn't move. He'd walk a short distance and then collapse on his face. He looked over at the moose, who was now laughing loudly. Coyote tried to make his legs move quickly and in the same direction, but he ended up falling over. The moose died laughing after falling down.
"These animals are stupid," Coyote said. "This is the only way you can get them."
He slaughtered the animal and prepared the meat in his kettle. He sat down to eat when it was ready. While he was doing this, he heard a noise from above.
"Stop making that noise!" Don't make a racket while I'm trying to eat. " It was only two trees rubbing against each other in the wind, but they wouldn't stop, and Coyote became enraged. He set his food down. "You'll have to quiet down right now!" yelled Coyote. They didn't, however. He scaled the trees and began tearing them apart. But they reunited and pinched him tightly. He tried to flee, but he was apprehended. Coyote then noticed a pack of wolves approaching. He started waving and shouting. "Brothers! Please do not come over here! There is a lot of danger. You should turn around. "
The wolves exchanged glances. "Perhaps Coyote has something he doesn't want us to see," they reasoned, coming over to find the meat ready in the kettle. They took their seats to eat. Coyote was still trying to get out of the trees that night.
