Coyote and the People | 郊狼与人类

English Original

One day, while Coyote was fishing in a stream, he saw Bear. Bear was very angry because a bee had stung him on the nose.

"I am very hungry," Bear said to Coyote. "The bees did not give me any honey. I will eat you!"

"That is where you are wrong, Bear," Coyote replied. With those words, he slew Bear.

Coyote used Bear's blood to create different Native American tribes. When he was finished, Fox said, "You still have one more area of land left!"

Coyote thought for a moment, then sprinkled rich blood from Bear's heart onto the land by a beautiful river. That is how the nation of tribes was formed.


中文翻译

一天,郊狼正在溪边钓鱼,他看到了熊。熊非常生气,因为一只蜜蜂蜇了他的鼻子。

"我饿极了,"熊对郊狼说。"蜜蜂们一点蜂蜜都没给我。我要吃了你!"

"熊,这就是你错的地方,"郊狼回答道。话音刚落,他便杀死了熊。

郊狼用熊的血液创造了不同的美洲原住民部落。完成后,狐狸说:"你还剩下一片土地呢!"

郊狼想了想,然后将熊心脏里富含生命力的血液洒在了一条美丽河流旁的土地上。部落民族就是这样形成的。
