the baby of the family. When Bill was about two
years old, his mother and father decided to move to
the West. They wanted to be pioneers. They liked the
adventure of the frontier.
One day they put all their possessions in a covered wagon and
began their journey. The family crossed forests, Mountains, rivers
and plains. They saw many new things. They met friendly Indians.
When they arrived in Texas, little Bill fell out of the covered wagon!
His brothers and sisters didn't see him fall out. His parents didn't see
him fall out!
That evening his parents looked for him. They looked everywhere, but they
did not find little Bill. They were very sad but they continued their journey.
Little Bill was all alone in the plains of South Texas. He was all intelligent child.
He looked around. He saw mountains, cacti and other small plants. It was
very hot. Then he saw a cave. He went inside the cave and slept. He slept
for a long time.
In the cave there was a family of coyotes. There was a mother coyote and
five small coyotes. The mother coyote liked little Bill. She decided to protect
him. Bill liked his new mother and his new brothers and sisters. He played
with the little coyotes. The coyote family was kind to him. He copied the
coyotes and learned to run and eat. He learned to drink water from the
river.
At night Bill howled at the moon with the coyotes. Bill
learned to speak the language of the animals. Soon
Bill forget about his human family. He thought he was
a coyote!
Many years passed and Bill grew up. One day when
he was about 20 years old, Bill was at the Pecos River with the other
coyotes. He drank water with them. A cowboy saw him and asked, "Why
are you drinking water in that way? You aren't a coyote!"
Bill looked at the cowboy and said, "Yes, I am!"
"No! You're not a coyote!" said the cowboy.
"Of course I'm a coyote! This is my coyote family," said Bill
"Where's your tail?" asked the cowboy.
Bill looked in the water of the Pecos River to see his reflection. He didn't
see his tail. He looked and looked. He turned around and looked again. He
was surprised. He didn't have a tail!
"You're right. I'm not a coyote. My name is
Bill. I'm a human! This is a big surprise for
me," he said.
The cowboy laughed and Bill laughed too.
"My name's Tall Tom. I'm a very tall
cowboy. This is the Pecos River and
I will call you Pecos Bill. Come with me, Pecos Bill! You can be a cowboy
with me. We can work together at the Longhorn Ranch."
"What's a cowboy?" asked Pecos Bill.
"A cowboy watches and guards the cattle and horses. He takes cattle from
Texas to other places. People from the East buy our cattle. They like good
meat. A cowboy is a strong, courageous man."
Pecos Bill wanted to be a cowboy. He said goodbye to the coyotes. He
was sad to leave them. They were his friends.
Then he said to Tall Tom, "Let's go to the
ranch!"
The cowboy gave Pecos Bill some
cowboy clothes. Pecos Bill looked at
the clothes and laughed. Then he put
