Reading Notes: Great Plains, Part B

 Coyote and Snake by Katharine Berry Judson (1913)

• Coyote was on the prairie looking for something when he heard a voice. 
• Maybe make the voice more booming. 
• Then, they told him to walk around the voice. 
• Coyote looked around and saw Snake. 
• Coyote wanted to make Snake move and did not want to walk around him, but Snake refused to move. 
• Snake told Coyote he will die if he did not move and Coyote did not believe him. 
• Snake then convinced Coyote to step over him and when he did, Snake bit him. 
• Soon, Coyote felt very sleepy and fell asleep, never waking up.
• Add more details about him wandering around and eventually falling to his death. Maybe, have Snake said I am right.
