Notes: at the end
Coyote and Raven were good friends. One day after Coyote had grown weary of hunting for food and finding none, he decided to go to the top of Blue Mountain to see his friend Raven.
"Welcome," Raven said. "But why do you look so weary and sad, my friend?"
"I have been hunting for food," replied Coyote, "but I found nothing."
Upon hearing this, Raven put an arrow to his bow and shot it straight up into the air, and then stood waiting for it to come down. It came down and pierced his upper wing.
When Raven drew the arrow out, it had a large piece of buffalo meat fixed to the head. Raven gave the meat to Coyote, who smacked his mouth and ate heartily.
"That was a fine piece of meat," Coyote said. "I must repay you some time. Will you come and visit me soon?"
"Yes, I will come," promised Raven. Coyote did not know that Raven possessed magic powers over the buffalo, and he believed that he could perform the same trick to obtain meat.
In expectation of Raven's visit, he made himself a new bow, and a few days later Raven came down from Blue Mountain to see him.
"Welcome, welcome," Coyote greeted him. "I have no meat because I did not expect you, I tried catching a green snake but it was too slippery, but if you will wait a moment I will soon have some for you."
Coyote took his new bow and shot an arrow straight up into the sky. He then stood waiting for it to come down. Raven watched him but said not a word.
The arrow came down and struck Coyote's thigh. He ran away screaming with pain, leaving his guest behind.
Raven waited a while and then went home without any meat, but in very high spirits because Coyote's attempt to imitate him amused him greatly. For days he chuckled to himself whenever he thought of it.
The end.
A/N: I wanted to do something that involved Raven, the Trickster in Native American stories, because to me Fraser often seems like Raven, tricking people and most often himself. And then I came upon this little story and it suddenly struck me that RayK is just as much a Trickster as Fraser. And since he's from the 'south' (relatively speaking) he's a perfect Coyote. :D
The original story (a bit longer and with a different title) can be found here.
