The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The Coyote and the Blackbirds, sentence 38

But when he looked around and saw the sun shining and the ground dry, and not a hailstone anywhere, he knew that the Blackbirds had given him a trick, and he limped home in a terrible rage, vowing that as soon as ever he got well he would follow and eat the Blackbirds as long as he lived.
