English Translation 1 Grandfather Coyote and his grandson Rabbit lived along the Columbia River. Grandfather told his grand son, "Don't go too far, don't go near the water. If you don't obey, the water-monster will swallow you." 2 One day, grandson Rabbit went looking for arrow heads. He went too far, he went near the water. The water-monster swallowed him. 3 Grandfather Coyote went looking for grandson Rabbit, he did not know where he went. He did not see him anyplace. Grandfather went to the river and said, "My grandson went too far, near the water. The water-monster must have swallowed him." 4 He took firewood and an arrowhead, then he went to the river. Grandfather called out, "Monster! Monster!" 5 Monster woke up and came out of his cave. The monster looked upriver and he looked downriver. Then he looked across the river and saw Grandfather Coyote at Wacaqws. 6 Grandfather went near the water-monster, he let the monster swallow him. 7 It was very dark in the monster's stomach. In the monster's stomach, Grandfather made a fire. It became bright. He could now see his grandson and the other people. ' 8 Grandfather told his grandson, "I will cut the monster's heart. The monster will die and breathe his last breath. When he opens his mouth to breath, you all hurry out. You must run out!" 9 Coyote cut the monster's heart. 10 Taking his last breath, the monster opened his mouth. Coyote, grandson Rabbit, and the other people ran out. 1 1 Water-monster bit off the tip of grandson Rabbit's tail just as he closed his mouth. That is why rabbits have short tails.
