Enrique Learns a Lesson: A Tale of Trust and Treachery in the Desert
Enrique was a curious and friendly mouse who lived in the hot and dry desert of the Southwest. He spent his days exploring the vast landscape and meeting other animals along the way. One day, while out on his travels, Enrique stumbled upon a group of coyotes who were hunting for their next meal.
Enrique was frightened at first, knowing that coyotes were known to be dangerous predators. But he decided to stay and observe the coyotes from a safe distance. As he watched, he began to realize that the coyotes were not simply vicious animals, but were actually intelligent and resourceful creatures.

The coyotes seemed to be struggling to find food and water in the barren desert landscape. They were thin and looked tired, and Enrique could see that they were becoming more desperate by the day. He wondered what he could do to help.
Enrique decided to approach the coyotes and see if he could offer them any assistance. He cautiously approached the group, keeping his distance so as not to scare them off. The coyotes noticed him, but didn’t seem to be threatened by his presence.
“Hello there,” Enrique said, trying to sound friendly. “I noticed that you seem to be having a hard time finding food and water out here in the desert. Is there anything I can do to help?”

The coyotes looked at each other, surprised by Enrique’s offer. They had never encountered a mouse who was willing to help them before. They cautiously approached Enrique, sniffing at him to see if he was trustworthy.
Enrique didn’t back down, and eventually the coyotes began to trust him. He showed them where they could find water and helped them to hunt for food. As he spent more time with the coyotes, Enrique began to understand their behavior and saw that they were not simply vicious predators, but were actually intelligent and resourceful animals.

But as time went on, the coyotes began to take advantage of Enrique’s kindness. They would ask him to fetch them food and water, and Enrique would always oblige. They would play tricks on him, sending him on wild goose chases, and then laughing at him when he returned empty-handed. Despite their mistreatment of him, Enrique continued to believe that the coyotes were his friends.
One day, while out searching for food, Enrique was ambushed by the coyotes. They had grown tired of his presence and decided that he would make a good meal. Enrique tried to run, but he was too slow. The coyotes caught him and devoured him in a matter of seconds.

Enrique’s tragic fate was a harsh reminder of the dangers of trusting those who would take advantage of our good nature. From that day forward, the coyotes roamed the desert, always on the lookout for their next unsuspecting victim.
The end.
