Coyote and the two Frog Women
An Alsea Legend
Coyote had no wife, and nobody wanted him. So one day he decided that he would go to the coast to look for dried salmon to buy.
He wasn't gone long when he came upon two frog women who were digging in the ground for camas. They called, "Where are you going?"
He acted as if he didn't hear. When they had yelled at him for a third time, he seemed to pay attention. "What do you want?"
"Nothing. We've been trying to ask you a question."
"What is it?"
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the coast to look for salmon."
"All right; are you going to leave us some on your way back?"
"Certainly," said Coyote. So he went on.
Now he was thinking, "I wonder how I'm going to play a trick on those two?" He hadn't gone far when he saw some yellow-jacket wasps hanging on a branch. He went to their nest, took it off the tree, and closed it so that the yellow-jackets could not fly out. Then slipping it into his basket, he opened the nest again and tied the basket so that the wasps could fly around inside but not come out.
Coyote put the basket on like a pack and went back to the women digging for camas. He didn't seem to pay any attention to them, so they shouted, "Hey, are you on your way home?"
"Yes, I am on my way home."
"How much salmon are you bringing back?"
"Not very much."
"You promised to leave some behind for us two."
"All right, come and get it."
They came up and he began to untie his pack. "You two put your heads inside this basket!"
They did, whereupon he kicked the pack. The yellow-jackets came out so angry that they stung the two frog women to death.
After the women had died, Coyote took off their vulvas and went on. Now whenever he felt like intercourse, he dug a hole in the ground, put those vulvas there, and then did it.
Pretty soon the two women came to life again. One began to examine herself and cried, "My vulva is gone! How about you?"
The other looked, and hers was gone too! They agreed that it was Coyote who played the trick on them.
For this reason frogs, they say, have no female organs.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
