THE FOX AND THE COYOTE

I

1 Coyote was sick at heart because he was hungry.

2 In front of him passed a pretty fox and he saw him and he said:

3 “ What has happened to you? Why are you sad?

4 Coyote replied:

5 “Because there is nothing to eat.”

6 “Then come. Do you want to eat chickens?

7 There are many and very good ones.

8 therefore, if you want, we shall go at once.

9 But there are many dogs.

10 If you will help me we shall go. We shall see how we may get them.”

II

1 They arrived at the chicken yard.

2 While Coyote kept the dogs quite Fox entered the chicken yard,

3 and he got two good chicken.

4 These were very fat so it was impossivle to carry them.

5 He said “One shall give to my companion and one is for me.”

III

1 When he came out Coyote had disappeared. The dogs had persued him and they went far away.

2 the fox said :

3 “Let me escape if not, the dogs will come and what will they not do me?”

4 Then for a long time there was no noise.

5 Coyote approached secretly, but he did not see the Fox.

IV

1 Then he was still more sick at heart. He was still more hungry. He was just dregging himself along. He hid.

2 He thought: “ When I meet this one I shall eat him.”

V

1 One day he met him and again Coyote was hungry.

2 He saw the Fox. He was looking into a hole.

2 Coyote jumped up and said:
