Puzzle 197

[koxka]

Are you ready for a new puzzle? Enjoy!

To newcomers: Read the rules before you join,please!

Here are the rules:
1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post it on the forum If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.


And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

One time there where five wolwes, all -rothers, who travele- together. Whatever meat they got when they were hunting they woul- share with Coyote. One evening Coyote saw the wolves loo-ing u- the s-y.
"What are you loo-ing at u- there, my -rothers? As-e- Coyote.
"Oh, nothing" sai- the ol-est wolf.
Ne-t evening Coyote saw they were all loo-ing u- in the s-y at something. He as-e- the ne-t ol-est wolf what they were loo-ing at, -ut he woul-n't say.It went li-e this fort three or four nights. No one wante- to tell Coyote what they were loo-ing at -ecause they thought he woul- want to interfere. One night Coyote as-e- the youngest wolf -rother to tell him, an- the youngest wolf -rother to tell him, an- the youngest wolf sai- to the other wolves, "Let's tell Coyote what we see u- there. He won't -o anything."
So they tol- him. "We see two animals u- there. Way u- there, where we cannot get to them".
"Let's go u- an- see them ," sai- Coyote.
"Well, how can we -o that?"
"Oh, I can -o that easy," sai- Coyote. "I can show you how to get u- there without any trou-le at all."
Coyote gathere- a great num-er of arrows an- then -egan shooting them into the s-y.The firts arrow stuc- in the s-y an- the secon- arrow stuc- in the first. Each arrow stuc- in the en- of the one -efore it li-e that until there was a la--er reaching -own to the earth.
"We can clim- u- now" sais- Coyote the ol-est wolf too- his -og with him , an- then the other four wolf -rothers came, an- them Coyote. They clim-e- all -ay an- into the night. All the ne-t -ay they clim-e-. For many -ays an- nights they clim-e-, untill finally they reache- the s-y. They stoo- in the s-y an- loo-e- over at the two animals the wolves ha- seen from -own -elow. They were two gri--ly -ears.
"-on't go near them," sai- Coyote. "They will tear you a-art." -ut the two youngest wolves were alrea-y hea-e- over. An- the ne-t to youngest wolves followe- them. Only the the ol-est wolf hel- -ac-. When the wolves got near the gri--lies, nothing ha--ene-. The wolves sat -own an- loo-e- at the -ears, an- the -ears sat there loo-ing at the wolves. The ol-est wolf, when he saw it was safe, came over with his -og an- sat -own with them.
Coyote woul-n't come over. He -i-n't trust the the -ears. "That ma-es a nice -icture, though," thought Coyote. "They all loo- -retty goo- sitting there li-e that. I thin- I'll live it that way for every one to see. Then when -eo-le loo- at them in the s-y they will say, "There's a story a-out this -icture, an- they will tell a story a-out me."
So Coyote left it that way. He too- out the arrows as he -escen-e- so there was no way for anyone to get -ac-. From -own on the earth Coyote a-mire- the arrangement he ha- left u- there. To-ay they still loo- the same. They call those stars -ig -i--er now. If you loo- u- there you'll see that three wolves ma-e u- the han-le an- the ol-est wolf the one in the mi--le, still has his -og with him. The two youngest wolves ma-e u- the -art of the -owl un-er the han-le, n- the two gri--lies ma-e u- the other si-e, the one that -oints towar- the North Star.
When Coyote saw how they loo-e-, he wante- to -ut u- a lots of stars.He arrange- stars all over the s-y in -ictures an- them ma-e the -ig Roa- across the s-y with stars he ha- left over.
When Coyote was finishe- he calle- Mea-owlar- over. "My -rother," he sai-, "When I'm gone, tell everyone that when they loo- u- into the s-y an- see the stars arrange- this way, I was the one who -i- that. That is my wor-.-"
Now Mea-owlar- tells the story a-out Coyote.

Update:

One time there where five wolwes, all brothers, who traveled together. Whatever meat they got when they were hunting they would share with Coyote. One evening Coyote saw the wolves looking u- the sky.
"What are you looking at u- there, my brothers? Asked Coyote.
"Oh, nothing" said the oldest wolf.
Ne-t evening Coyote saw they were all looking u- in the sky at something. He asked the ne-t oldest wolf what they were looking at, but he wouldn't say.It went like this fort three or four nights. No one wanted to tell Coyote what they were looking at because they thought he would want to interfere. One night Coyote asked the youngest wolf brother to tell him, and the youngest wolf brother to tell him, and the youngest wolf said to the other wolves, "Let's tell Coyote what we see u- there. He won't do anything."
So they told him. "We see two animals u- there. Way u- there, where we cannot get to them".
"Let's go u- and see them ," said Coyote.
"Well, how can we do that?"
"Oh, I can do that easy," said Coyote. "I can show you how to get u- there without any trouble at all."
Coyote gathered a great number of arrows and then began shooting them into the sky.The firts arrow stuck in the sky and the second arrow stuck in the first. Each arrow stuck in the end of the one before it like that until there was a ladder reaching down to the earth.
"We can climb u- now" saisd Coyote the oldest wolf took his dog with him , and then the other four wolf brothers came, and them Coyote. They climbed all day and into the night. All the ne-t day they climbed. For many days and nights they climbed, untill finally they reached the sky. They stood in the sky and looked over at the two animals the wolves had seen from down below. They were two grizzly bears.
"Don't go near them," said Coyote. "They will tear you a-art." But the two youngest wolves were already headed over. And the ne-t to youngest wolves followed them. Only the the oldest wolf held back. When the wolves got near the grizzlies, nothing ha--ened. The wolves sat down and looked at the bears, and the bears sat there looking at the wolves. The oldest wolf, when he saw it was safe, came over with his dog and sat down with them.
Coyote wouldn't come over. He didn't trust the the bears. "That makes a nice -icture, though," thought Coyote. "They all look -retty good sitting there like that. I think I'll live it that way for every one to see. Then when -eo-le look at them in the sky they will say, "There's a story about this -icture, and they will tell a story about me."
So Coyote left it that way. He took out the arrows as he descended so there was no way for anyone to get back. From down on the earth Coyote admired the arrangement he had left u- there. Today they still look the same. They call those stars Big Di--er now. If you look u- there you'll see that three wolves make u- the handle and the oldest wolf the one in the middle, still has his dog with him. The two youngest wolves make u- the -art of the bowl under the handle, nd the two grizzlies make u- the other side, the one that -oints toward the North Star.
When Coyote saw how they looked, he wanted to -ut u- a lots of stars.He arranged stars all over the sky in -ictures and them made the Big Road across the sky with stars he had left over.
When Coyote was finished he called Meadowlark over. "My brother," he said, "When I'm gone, tell everyone that when they look u- into the sky and see the stars arranged this way, I was the one who did that. That is my work."
Now Meadowlark tells the story about Coyote.

Hi Koxka,

I sent you another try .. I don't know if I'm allowed to try twice but it seems like no one else tried so I thought I would anyway. If it's against the rules I just want to know if I got it right! :D If no one else wants to host and I did get it right I will give it a try (I've never done a puzzle). Otherwise I just want to know if I got it! :D :D

AMBERLEE !!!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

And congratulations to all other players too ;)
It was a hard puzzle :p
Nomilynn you did a great job,but AmberLee's guess arrived before yours.:rolleyes:

And here's the Legend, I hope that you all enjoyed the text, I thought it was a poetic one, and any comment is welcome:


One time there where five wolwes, all brothers, who traveled together. Whatever meat they got when they were hunting they would share with Coyote. One evening Coyote saw the wolves looking up the sky.
"What are you looking at up there, my brothers? Asked Coyote.
"Oh, nothing" said the oldest wolf.
Next evening Coyote saw they were all looking up in the sky at something. He asked the next oldest wolf what they were looking at, but he wouldn't say.It went like this fort three or four nights. No one wanted to tell Coyote what they were looking at because they thought he would want to interfere. One night Coyote asked the youngest wolf brother to tell him, and the youngest wolf brother to tell him, and the youngest wolf said to the other wolves, "Let's tell Coyote what we see up there. He won't do anything."
So they told him. "We see two animals up there. Way up there, where we cannot get to them".
"Let's go up and see them ," said Coyote.
"Well, how can we do that?"
"Oh, I can do that easy," said Coyote. "I can show you how to get up there without any trouble at all."
Coyote gathered a great number of arrows and then began shooting them into the sky.The firts arrow stuck in the sky and the second arrow stuck in the first. Each arrow stuck in the end of the one before it like that until there was a ladder reaching down to the earth.
"We can climb up now" saisd Coyote the oldest wolf took his dog with him , and then the other four wolf brothers came, and them Coyote. They climbed all day and into the night. All the next day they climbed. For many days and nights they climbed, untill finally they reached the sky. They stood in the sky and looked over at the two animals the wolves had seen from down below. They were two grizzly bears.
"Don't go near them," said Coyote. "They will tear you apart." But the two youngest wolves were already headed over. And the next to youngest wolves followed them. Only the the oldest wolf held back. When the wolves got near the grizzlies, nothing happened. The wolves sat down and looked at the bears, and the bears sat there looking at the wolves. The oldest wolf, when he saw it was safe, came over with his dog and sat down with them. Coyote wouldn't come over. He didn't trust the the bears. "That makes a nice picture, though," thought Coyote. "They all look pretty good sitting there like that. I think I'll live it that way for every one to see. Then when people look at them in the sky they will say, "There's a story about this picture, and they will tell a story about me."
So Coyote left it that way. He took out the arrows as he descended so there was no way for anyone to get back. From down on the earth Coyote admired the arrangement he had left up there. Today they still look the same. They call those stars Big Dipper now. If you look up there you'll see that three wolves make up the handle and the oldest wolf the one in the middle, still has his dog with him. The two youngest wolves make up the part of the bowl under the handle, nd the two grizzlies make up the other side, the one that points toward the North Star.
When Coyote saw how they looked, he wanted to put up a lots of stars.He arranged stars all over the sky in pictures and them made the Big Road across the sky with stars he had left over.
When Coyote was finished he called Meadowlark over. "My brother," he said, "When I'm gone, tell everyone that when they look up into the sky and see the stars arranged this way, I was the one who did that. That is my work.-"
Now Meadowlark tells the story about Coyote.
