Once Upon A Time There Lived As Neighbours

Once upon a time there lived as neighbours, a bear and a rabbit.
The rabbit
was a good short, and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to
good advantage. The bear would call over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to
take his bow and arrows and came with the bear to the other side of the hill.
The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear's anger by refusing, consented and went
with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed, he
shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his
family had loaded themselves, and packed all they could carry home. The bear
was very gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat, so the
poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering, as the bear
would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. Poor rabbit would have to go
home hungry after his hard day's work.
The bear was the father of five children. The youngest child was very kind to
the rabbit. The mother bear, knowing that her youngest child was very hearty
eater, always gave him an extra large piece of meat, but the youngest child
didn't eat. He would take it outside with him and pretend to play ball with it,
kicking it toward the rabbit's house, and when he got close to the door he
would give the meat with such a great kick, that it would fly into the rabbit's
house and in this way the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa
bear.

A farmer came across a bird with a broken wing. He picked it up, took it home
and looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained bitterly about his
wasting too much time on the creature.
After some time, the wing mended and, because the bird did not want the
farmer to have kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided to go back
to its nest.
When the farmer discovered that the bird was gone, he was so upset that he
went out to look for it. Eventually, he found it again, and was greeted happily
by the whole family of the bird. As a sign of their thanks for his care and
attention, the birds gave him a little box, and told him not to open it until he
got home.
To his surprise, the farmer found the box full of precious stones. When his
wife saw them, she decided that she too deserved a reward, and she went to
see the birds. The birds give her a little casket, but this one was full of devils.
