He lit it with a match. prairie wolf had ingest a call many times, but he had never seen anything quite so howling(prenominal) as rolled a cigarette. I want to do that, brush wolf said. Let me do that.You cant, the cowpoke said.Why not?You aint got a raiment, so you aint got a garment pocket for your tobacco pouch. prairie wolf didnt s often a shirt in those days. He looked at his stern chest, then at the cowmans shirt. I can make a pocket in my chest.Well, wherefore dont you do that. The cow man unfolded his pocket knife and transfer it to prairie wolf. Coyote looked one more time at the cowboys pocket, to get the size right, then he do a ambiguous cut in his chest. He looked a little surprised, then he devolve over dead. The cowboy got back his pocketknife and rode off.A little fleck later, Coyotes brother came along and precept the trickster craft dead on the ground. He jumped over Coyotes body four times and Coyote sprang up, goodish as peeled.You did it again, Coyotes brother said.I actually wanted to roll a cigarette like the cowboy.Coyotes brother move his head. He said, If youre going to live around these white phratry, Coyote, you got to learn. practiced because you want something, it dont mean that its good for you.I knew that, Coyote said.CHAPTER 36 in that respect Aint No Cure for C oyote grungy on that point is a saying that goes back to the buffalo days there are no orphans among the blow. nonetheless today, if someone corset for a time on the reservation, he leave alone be adoptive by a crow family, unheeding of his race. The idea of a person without family makes the exult uncomfortable. So when Samuel Hunter became, once again, bruiser Hunts Alone, he give that there was family time lag for him, as well as his new white wife and her son. one-horse said, there aint near enough flaxen Indians, if you ask me.And even as he left his old name behind with his old life, Sam maintain his shape-shifter ways, place on each face as it was needed. sometimes he was tender and clever, and other times he was undecomposable, when simple served his purpose. When he spoke for the swash to the government he wore traditionalistic tribal dress and an eagle conjoin in his hair. nevertheless when he describe to his own people he remove out one of his Arman i suits and the Rolex (that had long since stopped running), because that is what they needed to see. He was prone the honor of effusive for the sweat, and the debt instrument to persuade on the old ways, and he programmed a computer to mouth shoot a line, and victimisation it, at the age of eighty, Pokey Medicine lengthiness knowing to speak his own language.And Sam put on many faces when he told the stories. When he told the old stories, of how out of date reality Coyote made the world, of how he got his power to change shapes, of wood rabbit and down and the other living creature people, Sam was like the trickster himself, grinning and laughing, fashioning rude noises, his well-situated eyes bright like fire. When he told the new stories of the Crow man who had forgotten who he was, of a Nipponese man of affairs who delivery the life of an old shaman, of a black man who helped rescue a white child from the enemy, of all the tricks and machines that Coyote u sed to bring the Crow man home, and of the last coup his voice took on a mourning fragrance and his eyes went wide and bright, as if life itself was a exquisite surprise. And when he told the score of the excursion into the Underworld, of how Coyotes brother let Calliope live again because the trickster gave his own life, Sam became earnest and dark, and those who doubted were apace convert when they saw the scar on Calliopes back from the slug that had killed her. but even as Sam put on these faces and wore these personalities, he knew but who he was. He was happy. later a charm Calliope became gravid and Sams public security was again thrown out of balance. He was cheeky and offensive until the day the little girl was born(p) and he saw that she had Calliopes deep chocolate-brownness eyes, not the deluxe eyes of a trickster. And meanwhile, as Grubb grew, he found that he could browbeat his adoptive cause by privateness and making the sound of a coyote howl ing, and for this he suffered long lectures from his old Uncle Pokey about respecting his elders.When Grubb was nine, in the time of the new grass, Sam took him to the great medicine wheel for his first fast. During the ride, in Pokeys superannuated pickup truck, Sam instructed Grubb on how to enter the spunk sphere and prompt him for what to expect there. And one last thing, Sam said as he left the boy on the mountain. If a deep guy in a big blue car comes along and offers you a ride, dont get in.What Grubb saw on his vision, and what happened when he grew up, is a story for another time. But it should be observe here that over the years, as he grew into manhood, his eyes faint-hearted step by step from dark brown to a bright, glitter gold.Coyote medicine will do them white folks some good, Pokey said with a grin. destruction
