Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good
shot and the bear, Bering very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good advantage.
The bear was very unkind the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrow
and came with the bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear’s
anger by refusing, consented to go with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the
hungry family. Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was lot of meat left after the bear
and his family had loaded themselves and packed all they could carry home. However, the
poor rabbit could not event taste the blood from the butchering, as the gluttonous bear world
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 bear 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. The baby bear did not eat this extra large piece of
meat. Instead, he would take the meat outside and would pretend to play ball with it, kicking
it towards the rabbit’s house, and when he got close the door he would give the meat such a
great kick that it would fly in to the rabbit’s house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his
meal unknown to the papa bear.
