Amadeus the Coyote

This is the story of Amadeus, the coyote. Days and nights for Amadeus are mixed up - as far as most humans are concerned. He sleeps most of the day and runs, hunts, and sings most of the night. At times he travels alone and sometimes he is with other coyotes. Amadeus and his friends make the most lovely melodies with their barks and yelps and howls and yaps. Their sounds drift on the winds in the Land of Terra, making the night a most wonderful place to be.

You might think that coyotes are vicious, but this is not the case. Coyotes are often blamed for taking farm animals, but they are most misunderstood. Amadeus eats rodents and rabbits and the occasional frog or snake. When food is scarce, he is more likely to eat a dead deer than to prey upon farm animals. Instead, Amadeus gives us the most beautiful music in all of Terra - a sound that will become a part of you and will never leave you after you hear it. Perhaps coyotes are not so vicious after all …
