Rabbit!

by Josh Wood Sunday September 14, 2008

He was walking [along] a road.
He again saw a Rabbit lying on the edge of the road.
As he went along quite close to it, he spoke thus:
“Who’d meddle with a rock Rabbit?”
he said.

That one was a real Rabbit but he paid no attention to it.
He passed on right by it.

A little further on, he looked back.
He saw that Rabbit jumping up.

Then he cursed himself:
“No good Coyote! Child of a Coyote! He goes about without a bit of sense!”
he said.

He ran after the Rabbit who had jumped up.
He had run from him into a dead tree that lay there.
[Coyote] lay toward [the hole in the tree].
He tried again and again in vain to reach into the hole.
[Then] he caught [hold of] the Rabbit.

Then the Rabbit spoke thus:
“Oh my grandmother! Give me the knife! Right now I’m going to cut off his wrist!”
he said, holding Coyote by the wrist.

Then Coyote also spoke thus:
“Oh my grandmother! I beg of you, don’t give him the knife!”
he said.
Then [Rabbit] got away from Coyote.
