I took some liberties here and there to adjust this story to suit my voice and a child's ear. I took time to make the story relevant for today, retain the original message, and bring up the beat a little. This story is based on The Coyote and The Monster or Heart of the Monster originally told by The Nez Perce tribe of Idaho and Wyoming. It has many different interpretations - usually with the Coyote going into the stomach of the monsters and finding its heart and … you get the picture - really violent. Not something I think the tiniest of ears should hear at bedtime.

Teacher’s: Here is a Reader’s Theater to follow up and support the moral of the story. Hope you enjoy it.
