Then Badger said: ‘‘You make me tired. Let us exchange them.” 
Then they exchanged their buttocks. Now Coyote was glad. He 
was awake, and thought: ‘‘Now I have fooled you, Badger. Now I 
shall get many.” He rose early and quickly. Then he broke wind. 
He arose and went out. He went with long strides and broke 
wind: po, po, po, po. He made slow steps and broke wind: 
pu, pu, pu, pu. When he stepped with long strides, he broke 
wind loudly; when he went slowly, he broke wind slowly. Now 
they went to hunt birds. They came home in the evening. Coyote 
had nothing, but Badger had caught many. Coyote tried to go up 
to the birds with long steps, but every time he stepped he broke 
wind: po, po, po. On the following day they went again and came 
back in the evening. Coyote had nothing, and Badger had killed 
many. Then Coyote thought: ‘‘I made a mistake; I will return his 
buttocks to him.” He said: ** What do you think? I will return your 
buttocks to you.” Badger did not say anything. Coyote tried to
