Brer Rabbit's TRICKBAG

Chapter 1 Brer Rabbit's Trickbag

And Brer Rabbit is not only clever.He is clever in a tricky kind of way.

He is not only clever in a tricky kind of way.He is funny in a clever, tricky kind of way.Which is why he is forever pestering the other animals, playing jokes and making mischief.

Brer Rabbit's neighbor, Brer Fox, knows all about those jokes.In fact, he was the one who opened Brer Rabbit's trickbag.

It all started one day when Brer Fox was walking down the big road.As he strolled along, he happened to spot Brer Terrapin.That made Brer Fox give a chuckle, down in his red belly. "Heh-heh-heh," he went.

Then he slipped into the shadows, with his small eyes fixed on Brer Terrapin's leathery little head.

Brer Terrapin waddled slowly up the road, humming quietly to himself.As he came past, Brer Fox pounced and flipped him into a sack.

Then he slung the sack across his back and headed home.

Brer Terrapin yelled out and struggled about, but Brer Fox didn't pay any attention.

"I'm going to boil him up," he said, "Nothing tastes as good as a hot pot of terrapin stew."

But, if you had looked very carefully into the bushes up the road, you would have seen two, long, brown ears.

Below those ears you would have seen a pair of eyes as dark and soft as velvet. It was Brer Rabbit.

He was lying beside the road, kicking at the butterflies and nibbling at the grass stalks.

As Brer Fox came past, his ears pricked up and he looked out through the leaves.

"Now I wonder what that old rascal's got in that sack?" Brer Rabbit asked himself.And he decided that there would be no harm in going to find out. So off he went.

He took a short cut along the ditch, over the turnip field and through the bramble patch.

That way, he got to Brer Fox's house first.

Before long, Brer Fox came home and, as soon as he opened the door, Brer Rabbit poked his head through the window.He pretended to be in an awful panic.
