Coyote and Eagle had always hunted together, but Coyote could not hunt anymore because he could not see at night. Coyote suggested that they go to find the Sun and the Moon and make them light up the world. Eagle was worried.He reminded Coyote that the Sun and the Moon were very strong and it was dangerous to try to trick them.
In the end, Eagle agreed to help Coyote. While the Kachina were sleeping,Coyote and Eagle crept into their village, stole the Sun and the Moon, and headed into the hills.
Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to open the box containing the Sun and the Moon. Eagle said "No." They must wait until their travels and open it with their eyes closed. Coyote grumble. He couldn't wait tho see what was in the box.
Finally, he grew so curious that he threw it open. The light of the Sun was so bright that it blinded Coyote's eyes. The Sun and the Moon left and flown far away, up into the sky where they are today.
