"Don't say that, I will roll over you," cried the rock. Coyote defecated and urinated on top of it. The stone commenced to roll. Coyote was running around in front of it. "Here I am, roll on me," he cried. It was rolling after him pretty fast. Coyote, as he was running around, started up a hill. The stone came after him.

started off again.
