A Bear and a rabbit

 NOVEMBER 6

A bear and a rabbit

         Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear, and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good short, and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good advantage. The bear would call over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with the bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear's anger by refusing, 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, so the poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering, as the bear would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. 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. The mother bear, knowing that her youngest child was a very hearty eater, always gave him an extra large piece of meat, but the youngest child didn't eat. He would take it outside with him and pretend to play ball with it, kicking it toward the rabbit's house, and when he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick, that it would fly into the rabbit's house and in this way the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.
