How Coyote Helped the People According to this passage, why did Coyote send
salmon up the river?
... Coyote traveled farther up the river, and the salmon
followed him. Often he came to a smaller stream flowing
into Big River. Because the people along the Yakima and
Wenatchee rivers treated him kindly, he sent the fish up
their rivers and promised them that every spring the
salmon would return. Where he was treated very kindly,
he made the river narrow in one spot. He would make the
two banks of a river almost meet, so that there would be a
good place for catching salmon.
