Roland B. Dixon - Achomawi Myths - Coyote And Cloud (Achomawi) lyrics

10. COYOTE AND CLOUD (ACHOMAWI). Coyote and Cloud ran a race. Cloud bet storm, and Coyote clear weather. They started far away to the south, and for a while Coyote was in the lead. Then Cloud made fruits of all kinds to grow in front of Coyote; and he, looking back and seeing Cloud far behind, stopped to eat. In this way Cloud caught up and won. This is why we have storms in winter-time.
