Story about coyote and dove

Coyate And The Crying Song

                                                                Retold by Horald Courkabde

“Hu – hu – huuu ! hu – hu – huu ! Ho –uuu ! ho – uuu!”

Coyote – Crow

Dove

          In this parable the narrator is trying to focus on wrong process of teaching – learning system. Coyote represents the teachers and the Dove obviously stand for the students without knowing the psychology of the students the  teachers always force them to believe what they think. Even the crying sound of the Dove is forcefully turned into a song. The Dove repeatedly rejected that he was singling, coyote was forcing him that it was a song. This incident mocks at the stupidity of the teachers.

          This parable can also be interpreted in terms of moral lessons – looking at coyote’s behavior. We can say that over confidence is a great obstacle in a learning process. Similarly reciting something without knowing it’s root is a great mistake.

          More over coyote is impatient ill- tempered and easily frustrated which are the great enemies in learning process. Besides this parable also clarifies that practical knowledge is a superior than the bookish knowledge. When coyote himself was hurts he know that “ Hu- hu – huuu! Was not a song but moaning sound.

          In this way this parable gives us some better tips in learning puscert, we must realize that teaching and learning must be in a natural environment and if possible in a practical knowledge.
