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. However, the bear was so greedy
and evil that he didnt allow the rabbit to get any of the meat. The poor rabbit could

5. Orientation:
Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit
was a good shot and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use an arrow to a good
advantage.
Complication:
The bear was very unkind to the rabbit. Every morning, the bear would call over to
the rabbit and ask the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and come with the bear to
the other side of the hill.
The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bears anger by refusing, consented and went with
the bear. The rabbit shot enough buffalo to satisfy the bears 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.
However, the bear was so greedy and evil that he didnt allow the rabbit to get any of
the meat. 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. The poor rabbit would have to go
home hungry after his hard days work.
Resolution:
The bear was the father of five children. The youngest boy was very kind to the
rabbit. Knowing that the youngest boy was a very hearty eater, the mother bear
always gave him an extra large piece of meat. Instead of eating this extra meat, the
youngest bear would take the meat outside 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
such a great kick that it would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way the poor rabbit
would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.
