Read the excerpt from “life among the piutes.”

our children are very carefully taught to be good. their parents tell them stories, traditions of old times, even of the first mother of the human race; and love stories, stories of giants, and fables; and when they ask if these last stories are true, they answer, “oh, it is only coyote,” which means that they are make-believe stories. coyote is the name of a mean, crafty little animal, half wolf, half dog, and stands for everything low. it is the greatest term of reproach one indian has for another. indians do not swear,—they have no words for swearing till they learn them of white men. the worst they call each is bad or coyote; but they are very sincere with one another, and if they think each other in the wrong they say so.

a. life among the piutes “coyote” is the term for make-believe.

b. parents teach their children stories of giants.

c. piute children learn good behavior from fables.
