The Fox
They Run with Coyotes
 
There was a fox going somewhere. And since a coyote could be dying of hunger, he kept chewing on a tree root. He said:
 
Coyote :          It’s too bad a man dies of starvation. Well you keep saying so. I will myself kill this war party chief. And I’ll then be chief indeed. They said that I took part in your doing this; well, the fact is that I might starve to death. For sure, all were hanging close against the butcher’s block. My little brothers, please go there and bring me back a piece.
 
And he brought him back a chunk of fat, carrying it in his mouth. And since he might starve to death, his jaw locked. He ate and he said, the fox said:
 
Fox: Come, now!
 
When he up and left, he followed after him, he went to the butcher’s block, where he ate and there at the block he kept walking about, eating one piece after another; and they sat down out on a hill, and he said:
 
Now then, big brother, lets you and I got to the camp, fatten ourselves; and then come home. You should make for yourself a stone hammer; and I shall make myself a dog.
 
Well, he dug a hole to do this, and he said: Lets you and I sit in a well.
 
And then, two young women came for water, and they said:
 
Woman 1: A dog has recognized me, and also I have found my own hammer.
 
Woman 2: Give it to me.
 
Woman 1: No! because we lack such, I will take both home. Mother, I found a hammer for you
       and I found for you also a dog.
 
They said the hammer was hung up in a sack at the smoke vent.
 
Coyote: Little Brother, I would die of smoke.
 
A human returned home and collected his bones, and they pulverized his bones. The bones were piled, but they were without oil. All who drank there were, lacking oil. He said:
 
Mother, please kill this dog for me. It is now fat.
 
Fox: Brother, lets you and I go home. They say they might kill me.
 
In a tipi there was sacred singing going on. When there was sacred singing going on in the tipi they went there, and they say they learned the songs, they came out, and they came out seeing a stone in the honor place and rolled over.
 
And because of a herd of buffalo, they came out, and they ran flying to the hills.
 
And so, the fox and the coyote ran along with them.
 
The End.
