One day Coyote was going along when he
came to a village where the people owned a
beautiful white buffalo horse.
Coyote decided that he needed this horse,
so he went into the village and said to
the people, "I will teach you people to
lie in exchange for that white buffalo
horse."
The people had never heard of lying, so
they quickly agreed to Coyotes
request.First, Coyote said he had to try
the horse out first. He jumped on the
horse, and as he settled himself on his
back, he poked the horse with his claws,
making the horse jump. "Hey! This horse
needs a blanket to be ridden!" he
exclaimed.
So the people went off to get Coyote their
best blanket for the horse. When they
returned, Coyote again said that he must
test the horse. He leaped onto the horse,
and again poked him making him buck.
"This horse needs a saddle before I can
teach you to lie'" Coyote told the people,
who were already searching for their best
saddle. When they returned, Coyote again
jumped on the horse, poking him and making
him jump. "Oh!" Coyote exclaimed, "This
horse needs a bridle, too."
