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.
