En una ocasión, un gato montés
buscando comida encontró en una cueva a varios conejitos
"cola de algodón". Agarró a uno, y estando a punto de
comérselo, vio que tenía una mancha amarilla en la
espalda. Entonces le preguntó por qué tenía
esa mancha, y el conejito le contestó que era porque
había matado a varios gatos monteses muy grandes y los
había tenido que cargar en la espalda. Entonces les dijo a
los otros conejitos que sacaran la cabeza del gato montés
para que terminara de comérsela, y luego iría a
buscar a otro gato. Los conejitos rodaron desde el fondo de la
cueva un pedazo de cacto seco. Cuando el gato montés lo
oyó, soltó al conejito y huyó, mientras los
conejitos, después de haberlo engañado, se fueron a
esconder en unos matorrales.

One time Puma, who was looking for food,
found a cave that belonged to some cottontail rabbits. He grabbed
one and was about to eat it when he noticed that it had a yellow
blotch on its back. So he asked him why he had that blotch, and the
little rabbit told him that it was because he had killed many very
large pumas and he had carried them on his back. Then the rabbit
told the other rabbits that they should take out the head of the
last puma that he had killed so that he could finish eating it, and
then he would go out looking for another one. The rabbits, who were
in the back of the cave, rolled around a piece of dried cactus.
When Puma heard it, he released the rabbit and fled. Meanwhile, the
rabbits who had fooled him went off to hide in the bushes.
