Coyote (mythology)

Coyote is like a character in stories that some Native American tribes tell. He's kind of like a mischievous trickster who likes to play jokes on people and other animals. Imagine if your friend pretended to throw a ball to you, but then didn't, and you went chasing after it, only to find out they still had it. That's the kind of thing Coyote might do.

Sometimes Coyote is really smart and outsmarts other animals or people, but other times his tricks backfire and he ends up getting in trouble. In some stories, Coyote is even known as a creator or transformer, using his wits and magic to shape the world around him. So, Coyote might seem like a funny and playful character, but he can also be powerful and important in Native American mythology.
