narrative
Long time ago, there was no day. It was always dark and always summer. This was because the Kachina, a very popular people had stolen the Sun and the Moon and locked them away in the box.
In the dream light, Coyote and Eagle, two friends wonder the desert. Coyote and Eagle had always hunted together, but Coyote couldn’t hunt anymore because he couldn’t see at night. Coyote suggested that they went to find the Sun and the Moon and make them light up the world. Eagle was worried. He reminded Coyote that the Sun and the Moon were very strong and it was dangerous to try to trick them.
In the end, Eagle agreed to help Coyote. While the Kachina was sleeping, Coyote and Eagle crafted into their village, stole the Sun and the Moon, and headed into the hills. Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to open the box containing the Sun and the Moon. Eagle said, “No”. They must wait after their travels and open it with their eyes closed. Coyote grumbled. He couldn’t wait to see what was in the box.
Finally, he grew so curious that h threw it open. The light of the Sun was so bright that it blinded Coyote’s eyes. The Sun and the Moon left and blow far away, up into the sky where they are today.
