Long ago the world was young and warm. Summer and Autumn were the only seasons and it was never cold.

    Coyote enjoyed this weather very much, and was very surprised one day to notice that it was changing. As the days went by, the air grew cooler and cooler. At night it got very chilly and many animals had to curl up under their fur coats to stay warm.

    None of the animals were too worried about Winter, except for Man. Man had no protective fur and was having trouble adjusting to the cold.
