Once upon a time, there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was
a good shot. In contrary, the bear was always clumsy and 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
preventing 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. The 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.
