Atondido Stories
The coyote looked in the water and said: "I see it. What is it?"
"There's a cheese in the water," the rabbit said to the coyote.
"If we drink all the water we can get the cheese. Drink it,
you're big and you can finish all the water."
"All right, brother," he said, and began to drink the water.
"I'm going for a walk," said the rabbit, and left. The coyote
continued to drink the water, but the rabbit was gone. The coy-
ote's stomach began to hurt him, and he got the runs. He wasn't
able to finish the water, so the coyote abandoned the effort and
left.
