Trickster Coyote is having his friends over for a festive solstice
get-together in the woods when a little girl comes by unexpectedly. She
leads the party-goers through the snowy woods to a shopping mall -- a
place they have never seen before.
Coyote gleefully shops with abandon, only to discover that fi lling your
shopping cart with goodies is not quite the same thing as actually
paying for them. The trickster is tricked and goes back to his cabin in
the woods -- somewhat subdued -- though nothing can keep Coyote down for
long.
