Make up: Trickster Tales

The two stories we read in the "Trickster Tales" were "Raven the Trickster" and "The Wolf and the Mink". Both these stories main plots are the deception and trickery of the raven and the wolf, in both of their respective stories. The wolf plays with the hungry mink's mind that he has already eaten the fish by putting the fish bones inside the mink's mouth while he is a sleep. The raven causes mischiefs and lies in his respective story. To tell you the truth, I am used to these types of stories ending with some sort of justice, but that wasn't the case in either story. So I was surprised. Both these animals used trickery to get them out of trouble. This is similar to humans. When humans are in an apprehensive situation they feel the need to lie, or try to scheme their way out of the situation instead of telling the truth.  lying and tricking works in the moment, but, from my experience, it always finds a way to come back to you and affect you. There is a simple saying that reminds me of this, "What goes around, comes around."
