How is Iktomi's appearance different when the ducks first see him from the way he is first describe in the passage?

When the ducks first see Iktomi, he appears as a strange figure with a tall hat and a long coat, which contrasts sharply with the initial description of him as a wily and clever trickster. The ducks are initially taken aback by his peculiar and exaggerated attire, highlighting the disparity between his cunning nature and his outward appearance. This visual difference emphasizes the theme of deception, as Iktomi uses his looks to manipulate the ducks into trusting him.
