· Iagoo, the storyteller, seems to be a kind and
generous old man.
·
Apparently coyotes are clever. Little detail in the story, but it caught my
attention
· “Now, winter was the time for storytelling.” Interesting little detail
· The North Wind sounds like a real attention seeker
· “For the King of this Land of Ice was a fierce old man called Ka-bib-on-okka by the Indians—meaning in our language, the North Wind.”
· The South Wind was even more powerful
· The South Wind would sit at the top of the mountain and smoke whenever the summer was almost over, smoking. It kind of gives off a lazy, hazy image.
· Shin-ge-bis just laughed in the face of the North Wind. Talk about cocky.
· “Ka-bib-on-okka, ancient man,
Come and scare me if you can.
Big and blustery though you be,
You are mortal just like me!”
· He sounds like a bit of a clever trickster to me
· “ As he had not been able to freeze Shin-ge-bis, he spent his rage on everything in his path.”
· “Cheerfulness and courage can overcome even the North Wind.” Nice moral
· “Coyote, the prairie wolf, was not a bad sort of fellow when you came to know him,” Did he outwardly appear bad before you came to know him?
· “At last they met Coyote, the cleverest of them all, trotting along the valley with his nose in the air, so they put the same question to him.”
