The next issue will have rest o f this legend, Obenakwa osoo papatoosooba ka koomebanaga namatapooe. Ooka mago’okwi mu nanena. Afterwards he sarted to place the stars in the sky. He kept them in a bag. Osoo Etza’a oonow kemowgese, yise, hemma u hane? Me’e oo tubenguse, yise, ooka oo mago’o witu nepoonewunu. Coyote came along, and asked what are you doing? And wanted to see what was in the bag. Osoo Esa’a Ka Etza’a meo “Ki maka mago’o witu poonepana”. The wolf told Coyote ’’don’t look into the bag” . Osoo Esa u’nutse’e pahona’ya’e ka un’u woakuse. Oonow habes’e u’uweka. The wolf was very tired from his work. So he lay down and fell asleep. Osoo Etza’a ooneoyoopana ka mago’o witu poo’ne The coyote still went ahead and looked inside the bag. Ummu papatoosooba ku’owka! Out! went the stars! Osoo Esa’a ka tuboonee meo ka Etza’a nema’e. Ha’o tu’wa u mani? U ka papatoosooba tskua! When the wolf woke up he told the Coyote. “ What have you done?” You’ve let the stars out! Yise nonotse u koomeba tametoo poo’neyina. U tu’tu’ha numayikwe! Now everytime that you look up into the sky, you will want to cry! 0 dyise nonotse osoo Etza’a ka koomeba tametoo pooneyina. Yaga’yakwe, Osoo oo soopedakwatoo, osoo ki to’ge mane ka patoosooba saku’ase. So eveytime the Coyote looks into the sky, he cries, because he knew it was wrong to let the stars out.
