One
day, a long time ago, near a river, a rabbit said he could do
everything that everybody else does.
Otter
said he would do something, and Rabbit could do it after him.
Otter
said he would go chase after a duck because he wanted to eat it.
Otter swam under the water to the duck.He caught a duck's leg
and yanked it down under the water.He swam back to his
hiding place to eat the duck.
Then
Rabbit went to go try it. He
made a noose out of a baby tree. He
swam out there and came up to breathe. Then
he went back under water.
He
tried to get the duck, but it didn't work out. The duck took him.
Rabbit
threw the noose over the duck's head. The
duck went flying out of the water into the sky.
Rabbit got tired of holding on. Then
he let go.
He
was going down and he landed in a stump.
He
was stuck in that stump and couldn't get out. Then
rabbit ate his fur because he was hungry.
He
finally got out. There were some kids playing and they heard a
rabbit singing.
The
kids went to tell their father. Their father helped the rabbit
get out. He cut a little door.
When
he opened the door, the rabbit flew by. To this day, when Rabbit
is hungry, he eats his own fur.
