77.--THE COYOTE AND THE KÓKONTU-MAIDENS.

Coyote sees Kókontu grinding corn and singing. They talk with him and then come out and go to steep bluff. Here they play, running up and jumping down large tree and bluff. Coyote joins them and climbs tree. He jumps down and lands forcibly on ground, killing himself. Kókontu laugh at him and go home leaving him dead.
