No sooner said than done. Brother Rabbit let fly his right foot-- vip! The foot stuck, and he raised the other. "Do you see this foot?" he exclaimed. "If I hit you with it, you will think a thunderbolt has struck you." Then he kicked her with the left foot, and it also stuck like the other, and Brother Rabbit held fast his Guinea negro. "Watch out, now!" he cried. "I've already butted a great many people with my head. If I butt you in your ugly face I'll knock it into a jelly. Turn me loose! Oho! You don't answer?" Bap! "Guinea girl!" exclaimed Brother Rabbit, "Are you dead? Gracious goodness! How my head does stick!" When the sun rose, Brother Goat went to his well to find out something about Brother Rabbit. The result was beyond his expectations. "Hey, little rogue, big rogue!" exclaimed Brother Goat. "Hey, Brother Rabbit! What are you doing there? I thought you drank the dew from the cups of the flowers, or milk from the cows. Aha, Brother Rabbit! I will punish you for stealing my water." "I am your friend," said Brother Rabbit; "don't kill me." "Thief, thief!" cried Brother Goat, and then he ran quickly into the woods, gathered up a pile of dry limbs, and made a great fire. |
