Trickster Tales

Tricksters are characters in traditional stories who behave foolishly and are usually troublemakers, but also help human beings.

Coyote is a trickster character in Native-American myths from all over North America who plays jokes on everyone and sometimes gets tricked himself.

Coyote noticed that Humans were uncomfortable in the cold, so he wanted to help them. He remembered seeing the Fire People, who lived high, and gave fire to the Humans to keep them warm at night.
