This Native American myth from the White Mountain Apache demonstrates the calamity that can accompany lies and selfishness. Coyote selfishly looks for food in the full and heavy bag that Badger carries. Coyote gets more than he bargains for when he realizes the weight and responsibility of Badger's load. The lesson highlights self management while unpacking the challenges in perceiving truth telling and lies and judging others without all the facts.
