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.
