Story of Rabbit and Bear
Once upon a time, there lived as neighbours, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a
good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy ad could not use the arrow to
good advantage.
One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and
arrows and came with bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit was fearing to
arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He consented and went with the
bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and
killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had
loaded themselves and packed all they could carry home.
The bear was very gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. Th
e rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering as the bear would throw
earth on the blood and dry it up. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry
after his hard day's work.
The bear was the father of five children. The youngest child was very kind to the
rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra large
piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take it outside with
him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the rabbit's house
and when he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick.
The meat would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get
his meal unknown to the papa bear.
