Coyote Meets The Scarecrow - Nez Perce
Coyote was trotting through the forest looking for his friend Crow. "Crow, Crow, Crow, where are you? I am hungry. I need you to show me where I can get something to eat." Scarecrow yelled at Coyote. "Hey, your friend Crow is dead." Coyote peeked out at the Scarecrow in the clearing at the end of the woods. Coyote spoke. "Did you kill her?" Scarecrow said, "No, Farmer shot her with a gun. I just hang here and do what Farmer tells me to do. I threatened Crow with hell fire, when she came in here to steal corn.
But I did not kill her." Coyote smirked. "I am hungry. Will you threaten me with hell fire if I take some corn?" Scarecrow said, "yes." Coyote got mad and immediately attacked Scarecrow and tore him down. Farmer shot Coyote in the foot. Coyote limped off and survived. "I know now, not to blame Scarecrow for the death of my friend and my own pain." Coyote pressed legal charges of murder, assault, and religious fraud, against Farmer and won ten million dollars in damages. Farmer was executed. Scarecrow could not scare away any of Crow's brothers and sisters because farmer was not there to put words in the puppet's mouth. The world became a better place.
