Apache: The Animals Race
· All
of the men came together in a group to run a race to the edge of the world
where a certain pretty girl was living. The man who arrived to where she lived
first would get the privilege to marry her.
· They
started running and Coyote gained a big lead, far ahead of all the other
animals. He kept his head on a swivel and kept looking back as he ran along in
the race. The men had formed into one running behind the other.
· The
Heron begun to run the race long after all of the other animals had set out on
their opportunity to marry the pretty girl. Somehow, he caught up and passed
the others as they ran along a slope.
· The
Heron asked the Mole where he was running to and the Mole responded by telling
him about the pretty girl. The Heron offered his back to the Mole to ride on as
he passed all of the other animals.
· The
Heron finally caught up to where the Coyote was, far ahead of the others. He
passed by him and was coming close to the place where the pretty girl live when
he put the Mole down telling him, “Hurry up now, run.”
· When
the Coyote and the other men came running to where the Heron was, he said to
the rest of them, “What are you running for? Mole has already married the girl.”
