Coyote and Cloud
An Achomawi Legend
Coyote and Cloud ran a race. Cloud bet storm, and Coyote clear
weather. They started far away to the south, and for a while Coyote
was in the lead. Then Cloud made fruits of all kinds to grow in
front of Coyote; and he, looking back and seeing Cloud far behind,
stopped to eat. In this way Cloud caught up and won. This is why
we have storms in winter-time.
