They were an old woman<br \/>\nand her young cousin. They kept them penned up in the mountains,<br \/>\nso that they could not get out. Coyote came to these people.<\/p>\n<p>He summoned the Indians to a council. &quot;That old woman will<br \/>\nnot give us anything. When we come over there, we will plan how<br \/>\nto release the buffalo.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>They all moved near the buffalo-enclosure. &quot;After four nights,&quot;<br \/>\nsaid Coyote, &quot;we will again hold a council as to how we can<br \/>\nrelease the buffalo. A very small animal shall go where the old<br \/>\nwoman draws her water. When the child gets water, it will take it<br \/>\nhome for a pet. The old woman will object; but the child will think<br \/>\nso much of the animal, that it will begin to cry and will be allowed<br \/>\nto keep it. The animal will run off at daybreak, and the buffalo<br \/>\nwill burst out of their pen and run away.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The first animal they sent failed. Then they sent the Kill-dee.<\/p>\n<p>When the boy went for water, he found the Kill-dee and took it<br \/>\nhome. &quot;Look here!&quot; he said to his cousin, &quot;this animal<br \/>\nof mine is very good.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The old woman replied, &quot;Oh, it is good for nothing! There<br \/>\nis nothing living on the earth that is not a rascal or schemer.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The child paid no attention to her.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Take it back where you got it,&quot; said the woman. He obeyed.<br \/>\nThe Kill-dee returned.<\/p>\n<p>The people had another council. &quot;Well, she has got the better<br \/>\nof these two. They have failed,&quot; said Coyote; &quot;but that<br \/>\nmakes no difference. Perhaps we may release them, perhaps we shall<br \/>\nfail. This is the third time now. We will send a small animal over<br \/>\nthere. If the old woman agrees to take it, it will liberate those<br \/>\nbuffalo; it is a great schemer.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>So they sent the third animal. Coyote said, &quot;If she rejects<br \/>\nthis one, we shall surely be unable to liberate the game.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The animal went to the spring and was picked up by the boy, who<br \/>\ntook a great liking to it. &quot;Look here! What a nice pet I have!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The old woman replied, &quot;Oh, how foolish you are! It is a good<br \/>\nfor nothing. All the animals in the world are schemers. I&rsquo;ll kill<br \/>\nit with a club.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The boy took it in his arms and ran away crying. He thought too<br \/>\nmuch of his pet. &quot;No! this animal is too small,&quot; he cried.<\/p>\n<p>When the animal had not returned by nightfall, Coyote went among<br \/>\nthe people, saying, &quot;Well, this animal has not returned yet;<br \/>\nI dare say the old woman has consented to keep it. Don&rsquo;t be uneasy,<br \/>\nour buffalo will be freed.&quot; Then he bade all the people get<br \/>\nready just at daybreak. &quot;Our buffalo will be released. Do all<br \/>\nof you mount your horses.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In the mean time the animal, following its instructions, slipped<br \/>\nover to the pen, and began to howl. The buffalo heard it, and were<br \/>\nterrified. They ran towards the gate, broke it down, and escaped.<br \/>\nThe old woman, hearing the noise, woke up.<\/p>\n<p>The child asked, &quot;Where is my pet?&quot; He did not find it.<\/p>\n<p>The old woman said, &quot;I told you so. Now you see the animal<br \/>\nis bad, it has deprived us of our game.&quot; She vainly tried to<br \/>\nhold the buffalo back.<\/p>\n<p>At daybreak all the Indians got on their horses, for they had confidence<br \/>\nin Coyote. Thus the buffalo came to live on this earth. Coyote was a great schemer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kiowa-Comanche Mythology Wiki The Kiowas migrated through the Platte River basin to the Arkansas River area.
