He was coming towards them then. Then the two girls went with him and they stayed with Coyote. They came to a shady place under a willow tree, the three arrived there. And there under the willow tree Coyote laid down on the lap of one girl, his head on her lap, then he had his feet on the other girl's lap. Then that one girl was picking out his head lice. They were picking out the lice he did not have any red nits. Then Coyote said he didn't have any lice shaking his head from side to side, he wanted to impress the girls by saying that, also he liked their attention. The girls then said, "From where is that bad smell coming from?" Then they put him to sleep. Coyote then went into a deep hard sleep. Coyote was sleeping in that same position on the girl's lap. Then the girls said, "Why is that wrap around his eyes?" They wanted to see his eyes they said. Then they started to remove his eye wrap. When they did that they could see fly maggots moving in his eye sockets. The smell coming from his eye sockets were very nauseating. Then they said, "What shall we do to Coyote?" One girl said, "Go and get a dry willow tree log," she said to the other girl. Then Coyote being in a deep sleep was not aware that a log was place under his head. They also placed another log under his feet. Itsappeh or Coyote was not aware of what was happening. Then the two girls then left Coyote and walked away. They did not like the way his eyes were stinking. Later on Coyote woke up and told one girl to keep picking his nits from his head, he thought the girl was still there. He raised his head up and thought he bumped the girl's leg but instead he bumped the log hard. Then Coyote woke up, the girls were gone. Coyote with his outstretched hands was running here and there for the girls. And then, Coyote could not find them. Coyote then being blind was following their scent, he kept following their scent, the direction they were go-ing. |
