Question

In ancient times the weather was always mild. But one day Coyote noticed that the air was growing cold. Winter was coming for the first time. Coyote knew that because Man had no fur, he would soon freeze. So Coyote decided to get fire for man from some Beings who had seized it from pieces of the sun. Coyote traveled to where the Beings lived, but they guarded their fire jealously and would not give up the tiniest bit. What does the selection reveal about the culture in which it was first told?

Answer 1

Humans were the dominant beings of society, which is definitely comparable to today's society. The culture in which the selection was first told was (more than likely) learning that although humans don't do much for animals, they provide a lot for us. 

I'm not sure if that's the kind of answer you were looking for but I attempted to help you. Sorry if I didn't hit the right point.
