Mr. Coyote and the Herd

A short folklore in 55 words.

The sheep graze through the dusty dunes of Canyon De Chelly.

They stop, and linger forward with disappointment and fear.

Mr. Coyote approaches, impatient and hungry.

He charges, and snatches his prey with ease.

Mr. Coyote smiles boldly and desires more, but the clever herd
disappears into the wind.

Mr. Coyote awaits, as time expires.
