Bear and Rabbit
Here is a story for you enjoy. Listen !
Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a
rabbit. The rabbit was a good shot and the bear, being very clumsy,could not
use an arrow to a good advantage.
The bear was very unkind to the rabbit. Every morning, the
bear would call over to the rabbit and ask the rabbit to take his bow and
arrows and come 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. The rabbit shot enough buffalo to satisfy the
bear’s family. Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was still lots of
meat left after the bear and his family had loaded themselves and packed all
they could carry home.
However, the bear was so greedy and evil that he didn’t allow
the rabbit to get any of the meat. 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. 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 boy
was very kind to the rabbit. Knowing that the youngest boy was a very hearty
eater, the mother bear always gave him an extra largepiece of meat. Instead of
eating this extra meat, the youngest bear would take the meat outside 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 such a great kick that it would
fly into the rabbit’s house. In this way the poor rabbit would get his meal
unknown to the papa bear.
