Elliot is a Premium member from Atlanta in Georgia, U

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,960
s A. And he would like a story with a

8
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,759
mule deer and a coyote. Don't forget to listen to

9
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:48,840
the animal facts after the story to learn more about

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,119
these creatures. For now, it's time to sit back and

11
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:58,560
get comfy, because it's time to begin The Big Bad Coyote.

12
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,520
Once upon a time, a coyote sat down with a book.

13
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:07,200
By reading the book, he hoped to take his mind

14
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,680
off of his very hungry tummy, which had been growling

15
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:15,079
and grumbling and gurgling. The coyote had had nothing to

16
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,079
eat for such a long time. The book he had

17
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:22,519
chosen was The Big Book of Fairy Tales, and the

18
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,879
very first story happened to be The Three Little Pigs.

19
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:29,359
He remembered this story being read to him when he

20
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,239
was little. His favorite character in that story was the

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,319
big bad wolf, and he'd loved the way he'd blown

22
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,480
down the pigs, houses of straw and sticks. It was

23
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:43,400
only the ending where the wolf was tricked at the

24
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,719
housemaid of bricks that spoilt it. That part was awfully unfair.

25
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:53,920
As his stomach gurgled again, the coyote had an idea.

26
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:58,519
Maybe he thought this story could help him catch some

27
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,920
dinner of his own. Through the woods, and not too

28
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,039
far away there lived a mule deer named Eliot. Eliot

29
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,960
lived a quiet life in a little wooden cabin all

30
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,039
on his own. It was a peaceful place to live

31
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,599
where he was rarely disturbed. And yet to day some

32
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,120
one was knocking upon his door. This was most unexpected,

33
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:26,840
and so the mule deer cautiously tiptoed to the window

34
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,479
to see who it might be. There was a coyote

35
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,240
stood on his doorstep. Eliot didn't like the sight of

36
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,240
him there one bit. Who is it? Eliot called out,

37
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:45,080
I'm the big bad I mean, the little kind coyote.

38
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,840
The coyote replied, Can I come in? No, thank you,

39
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,479
Eliot replied, I don't want any visitors right now. I'm

40
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,479
rather busy. The coyote wasn't aware he was being watched

41
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,240
as he pulled a book from his pocket and began

42
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,120
to leaf through it. He read a passage, snapped shut

43
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,840
the book, then looked up at the cabin. Little pig,

44
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Little pig, the coyote began, before trailing off. Wait are

45
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,439
you a pig in there? No, I'm a mule deer,

46
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,759
Elliot replied from within, continuing to make sure he was

47
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,360
out of sight. The coyote nodded and put his book away.

48
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:37,560
Then he puffed out his skinny chest and said, little dear,

49
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:42,479
little dear, let me in, Let me in er No.

50
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,439
Eliot replied he hadn't changed his mind. In fact, if anything,

51
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:51,400
he was now quite sure he'd made the right decision

52
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,560
in keeping his door closed. No, no, that's wrong, complained

53
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:02,360
the coyote outside. You're supposed to say not by the

54
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:07,360
hair on my chinny chin chin. Elliot was beginning to

55
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:11,520
find this strange coyote amusing, so he decided to play

56
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,519
along very well. He said, not by the hair on

57
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,519
my chinny chin chin. A coyote braced himself with his

58
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:25,360
legs wide apart as he took a deep, deep breath.

59
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:29,439
Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your

60
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:33,879
house down, he cried, and he blew with all of

61
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,199
his might, blowing until he was red in the face.

62
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:43,600
Eliot's house, though, didn't even wobble. Are you all right,

63
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,920
Elliot called through the window. You appear to be sweating.

64
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,199
Just give me a moment, panted the coyote, before taking

65
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,839
another deep breath and trying again. The cabin still didn't move.

66
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,639
I don't understand, the coyote complained as he pulled out

67
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,959
his book. Houses made of sticks are easy to blow down,

68
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,759
it says so right here. If you'd like to hear more,
