The following text is for questions 1 to 3.

Once upon a time there lived as neighbours, 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 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.

after it lovingly, even though his wife complained bitterly about his wasting too much time
