FLINT VISITS THE RABBIT
In the old days Tawiskala (Flinu lived
up in tho mountains. and all the animals
hated him because he helped TO kin so
many Of them Everybody was afraid
to venture near his house un,il the rabbit,
who was the boldest leader among them,
offered to go after Film, and try to Kill
him,
Flint was standing at his door when
the rabbit came up and said sneeringly
-Sivu, hello! Are vou The fellow th1y
call Flint" Yes; that's what thcy call

live?" Yes. this il where i live All

to take Flint of his guard, He had e1-
pected Flint TO invite him into the house.
so he waited little while. but when Film.
made no move he said. well, my name
is Rabbit; I've heard good deal about
you. 40 ] came to invite you to come and
see me"
Flint wanted to know where the rab-
bits house was, and ne told him il WAS
down in the broom grass field near the
river. SO Flint promised to make him q
visit in a few days why not come now
and have supper with me1' said the rab-
bit. and after coaxing Flint agreed.
When they came near the rabbit 8
hole the rabbit said. There is my house
but in summer | generally stay outside
fire and they had their supper on the
grass. When it was over Flint stretched
out to rest and the rabbit got some heavy
sticks and his knife and cut out a mallet
and wedge. Flint looked up and asked
what that was for oh said the
rabbit. Il like TO be doing something.
and they may come handy So Flint
sound asleep. Then the rabbit came
over to Flint and with one good blow Of
the mallet he drove the sharp stick into
his body and ran with all his might for
his own hole, but before he reached IL
there was loud explosion and pieces
Of flint few all about. That is why we
find flint In so many places now One
piece struck the rabbit from behind and
cut him just as he dived into his hole.
He sat listening until everything became
quiet again. Then he put hir head out
to look around. but just at that moment
another piece fell and struck him on the
lip and split it, as We still see IL.
HOW THE DEER GOT HIS HORNS.

He was a great runner and the rabbit

a match between the two and made
nice large pair Of antlers for prize to
the winner. They were to s.aIt toeet her
from one side Of a thicket and go through
il and then turn and come back and
the one who came ont first was TO get
the horns.
On the day fixed all the animals we're
there. with the antlers put down on the
ground at the edge Of the thicket to mark
the starting point While everybody
was admiring the horns the rabbit aaid
