COYOTE TAILS

ONCE COYOTE LIVED WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER. WHEN HE WENT ON A VISIT HE WAS FED SOUR ACORNS. HE QUESTIONED HOW TO MAKE SOUR ACORNS AND THEY SAID PUT SOME WATER ON THEM AND TWO DAYS LATER YOU PRESS THEM DOWN.COYOTE ARGUED ABOUT HOW THEY MADE THIS MEAL.

COYOTE HAD HEARD ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE SOUR ACORNS - HE TOOK SOME IN A CANOE AND DUMPED THEM IN THE RIVER AND HE NEVER FOUND THEN AGAIN. HE TOLD HIS GRANDMOTHER THAT AND SHE GOT ANGRY. SHE MADE A FIRE AND COOKED SOME ACORNS. COYOTE WENT INTO THE SWEAT LODGE. THEN HE WENT TO HIS GRANDMOTHER'S AND SHE PUT A BLANKET OVER HER ACORNS AND LIED TO HIM THAT SHE HAD ACORNS. HE WAS STARVED AND LIFTED HER UP FROM THE BOILING POT AND ATE THE ACORNS!
