Synopsis
Excerpt from Miwok Myths
The Black Geese asked the White Geese to help them. They gathered in the assembly house.
Lizard lav on top of the rock and looked into the valley. It was then that he found the fire. He saw the flames issuing from the smoke hole in the top of a large assembly house. Then Lizard told Coyote that he saw the fire below. Coyote doubted him. Lizard said, Come up here on top of the rock, look below, and you will see sparks coming from the assembly house. Covote asked, Where do you see the fire? I see no fire in that direction. Then Lizard said, Watch. There goes another spark. Coyote said to the Geese, It is strange that we cannot see it. He saw it again. The Geese did not believe him. They said that he was deceiving them.
