Coyote Steals the Sun and Moon
Coyote Steals the Sun and Moon
The lesson in the story “Coyote Steals the Sun and Moon” is that stealing is wrong and it never pays off in the long run. In the book Coyote meets and Coyote knows Eagle is a good hunter so they team up. Eagle catches a few rats and suggests they get more light, so they go on a hunt for more light. Through their hunt they run into a group of Kachinas. The Kachinas spot Coyote and Eagle and invite them to join the ceremony. As Coyote and Eagle look around they see a box full with light so Coyote suggests to eagle that they steal it. After the Kachinas finish dancing and they head home to sleep Eagle scoops up the box and flies away with Coyote following behind him. After a little while Coyote annoys Eagle so much that Eagle lets Coyote carry the box. To Coyote’s curiosity, he opens the box and lets sees it contains the sun and moon. He looks too long at them and they escape. The sun runs far away the earth begins to get freezing. This is what we now call winter. In the end Coyote is to blame for the period of time where the sun is gone, the earth is cold bare and depressing, and is why we can’t enjoy summer all year long. In the book Coyote is portrayed as a mischievous, curious, animal who isn’t exactly the smartest animal. He can’t hunt very well either. On the other hand Eagle is a very stealth, smart, skilled animal and is a very good hunter. Both The Eagle’s and the Coyote’s personalities are the same because they both are adventurous and they both are very interesting and complex creatures. I think these to characters are very interesting and exciting and that is why they are in this story. I would recommend that you read it because it makes you think about why everything in nature is here and why it does what it does.
