Sin-ka-lipī – Coyote – did not like his name; he wanted another. Nobody respected his name, Imitator, but it fitted him. He was called Sin-ka-lipī because he liked to imitate people. He thought that he could do anything that other persons did, and he pretended to know everything. He would ask a question, and when the answer was given he would say:
»I knew that before. I did not have to be told.«
Such smart talk did not make friends for Coyote. Nor did he make friends by the foolish things he did and the rude tricks he played on people.
