The Rabbit Goes Duck Hunting
Image Source : rabbit holes and reality
- A boastful rabbit claimed to do whatever anyone else could do
- He was able to make the other animals believe him
- The otter claimed he ate ducks, so the rabbit made the same claim
- The otter challenged the rabbit to try duck hunting
- While the otter was distracted, the rabbit made a noose with some peeled tree bark
- He dove, and swam down until he choked and tried again until he caught a duck
- He tied the noose around the duck and the duck flew off
- The rabbit tried to hold on to the noose but the rabbit could not hold on any longer and had to let go
- He fell into a hollow tree stump and was unable to get out
- After several days, he heard children playing and he began to sing
- The children went to get their father
- The father cut a hole in the tree stump after the rabbit said the man will be able to see him better
- After the hole was big enough, the rabbit ran off
