With US the fox Is credited with be-
ing the cunning animal: but In Africa
the natives always think the little
rabbit. besides being really wise. has
this quality. AS "Brer Rabbit ne has
been immortaiized.
/ will give one Of the many stories
about him told among the Winamwan-
ga, Central African tribe.
certain Master Bunny had been
busy finding food for himself and his
little family. moving about here and
there the whole OF one morning.
AS the day wore on and the SUN had
risen high, II became too hot to be
pleasant. especially as he was not able
to change his beautiful fur coat for
something lighter Just at this juno
ture he spied cave which looked both
cool and inviting. He made for it.
and was soon inside enjoying the re.
freshing shade.
a lion CHANGED to pass that same
way and. feeling the oppressive heat
too much for him, walked into the
very same cave as Master Bunny had
done. The poor rabbit stretched
full length on the rock inside. saw him
coming and. as can be imagined, near
ly died of fright,
He thought to himself: l"Oh, dear,
oh. dear.t~ I'm done for now, I've new
er been boxed so tightly before,
nan lose nothing. but perhaps gain
omtehing by being polite to Mr. Lion.
anyway I'll pay my respects to him,
and gain a little more time to think"
So, jumping up. he bounded across
to where the lion had settled. and,
throwing himself backward fiat on the
ground in front OF him, he clapped his
forepaws together (the usual native
way of greeting a chief) and said
"G0Od morning grandfather
The lion was evidently pleased, and
responded to his salutation graciously,
bowling and clapping his paws to-
gether, at the same time saying.
Good morning, my child
The rabbit was. meanwhile, think
Ing desperately what he could do to
save his life. His usual ready re-
source was hard put to this time; but
quick as thought, what turned out to
be a happy solution of his difficulty
came to him. Running in desperate
earnest to the low entrance OF the
cave, he stood on his back legs and
putting his front paws against the pro-
jecting rock. he called out excitedly:
."Grandfather. grandfather. the cave
Is tumbling down. Come quickly. and
help me hold 1t up"
The lion, with q scared look,
jumped up ut once and was instantly
by the rabbits side, helping him with
all his might to avert such . terrible
disaster.
