Mεnaθey: χa? k?at?? tawθε ninijε tawθi?ato? ??t?? ???yε. Hε k?a k? ???yεs ta??wto?. N?n?jε kεwkigim, p?oho,t?k?ε hεga ta mosayε θεq?ms t?k?ε.

I want to tell you a story told to me by my granny. Her granny told her the story. It is about Coyote, Raven, Rabbit and the 4 rabbit holes.

Payε t??at??aχ?awum ?ε kεwkigim t??ok??s. Qajε mot k?i ?i ?aw??? t?t ?ε ??mst?ns. ?uk??ε θos t?ts k? θi?εm. T??εt??εyqεn?m. Hotit nan?t ?εt θo hεwt.

Coyote always hunted every day. Very early in the morning he would leave his den. He went everywhere in the forest. Searching for food. It would be nighttime before he got back to his den.

Nεs ?ε mos θεq?ms k? t?k?ε. ?ata q?al?ms ta θi?εm. Tanos ?ε θεq?ms k? t?k?ε. X?a?ot nijε?εnx?εg?s?s.

There were these 4 rabbit holes. On this side of the forest. They were side by side. They were not very far apart.

Han?m qaqa kεwkig?m χatosit?s. hoyot pa?a θεq?ms t?k?ε k??t?s t?t. hoyε θo k? θi?εm.

Coyote is usually so hungry when he gets up. He only ever looks at one rabbit hole. Then he goes into the forest.

Kewkigim: hεw ?aχεg?n ta t?k?ε. Ma??x?θ?mt pa?? t??ok?.

Rabbit is so smart. But I will catch him one day.

Mεnaθεy: hεw qaχ mot t??ok? k??tεg?n, ?i x?a?εm?s ma??x??s ta t?k?ε.

Many days passed and he still could not catch the rabbit.

Ho ?ε pa?? t??ok?, qajε?ot x?? k??nux??s t?k?ε. ?iyix??s ?ε p?oho, k?an?? nε ?ε jεji??m.

Then one day he still had not seen the rabbit. He heard Raven, sitting in a nearby tree.

P?oho: cr-r-ruck. Cr-r-ruck kewkigim. K?ε?εt ?aχεg?n t?k?e θo n?gε. Cr-r-ruck. cr-r-ruck.

Cr-r-ruck Coyote. Rabbit is smarter than you? Cr-r-ruck. Cr-r-ruck.

Mεnaθεy: hεw q?aq?a mot kεwkigim ??n qajεk?i. χa? mot ?ε ??yεx?s p?oho. X?ox?t??at?m.

Coyote was especially hungry that morning. He got really mad when he heard Raven. Making fun of him.

Kεwkigim: ?ot k?ε?εt ?aχεg?n ta t?k?ε θo ??nε, k?ε?εt? ?aχεg?n θo n?gε!

If Rabbit is smarter than me, I am smarter than you!

P?oho: qaqas?a?εm. Cr r r?.ruck. ?o?χay?x?! Q?aq?a?x?! χa?εt?x? θ x?a?εm?s ma??x? ta t?k?ε.

Laughing. Cr-r-ruck. Are you old? Are you hungry? You are mad because you cannot catch the rabbit.

n?msa?ag? k??nux? ?aχεg?n? tawθεt???m q?al?s nan?t, θo ???t ta t?k?ε θεq?ms qεx?tεg?ns ta θεq?ms nε?os ?i?t sε hεwt?m nan?t. ?ot?x? p?pyε θεq?m k??tux? ta qajεk?i, k?εns?m t??ok? θo k??tεg?n hεwt?m θ ma?ax? ta t?k?ε?

Are you really smart? I will tell you when it comes evening, Rabbit goes to sleep next to the hole he slept in from the night before? if you only look at one hole in the morning how many days will pass before you catch the rabbit?

Mεnaθεy: k??nost?m kεwkigim ta p?oho, hoya k??t?s ta θεq?ms ta t?k?ε, k??nost?s qεy ta p?oho.

Coyote looked at Raven in the face then he looked at the rabbit holes then he looked at the Raven again.

Kεwkigim: p?oho, hotεg?n?x? θ payε q?qyεt k? ?uk? gat?s. ?i ?εt?x? tatawθ n?ms k?at?? ma??x? ?ε t?k?ε. Mεnaθεy: hahays θo t???mχ k? θi?εm.

Raven, you think you can fool everyone and then you tell me how to catch the rabbit. Then he slowly disappeared into the forest.

Gaya?t?n?x?: k?εnas?m ?ε t??ok? hεwt?m manigit ta Kεwkigim ta t?k?ε?

Question: In how many days will Coyote catch the rabbit?
