Rabbit and Bear

Once upon a time, there lived as neighbours, a bear and a rabbit. The
rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy ad could not use the
arrow to good advantage.

One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his
bow and arrows and came with bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit was
fearing to arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He 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. Th e 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 day's work.

The bear was the father of five children. The youngest child was very
kind to the rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him
an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take
it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward
the rabbit's house and when he got close to the door he would give the meat
with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way,
the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.

prehensile trunk. Its upper incisors form long curved tusks of ivory.
African elephants have large fan-shaped ears and two “fingers” at
the tip of its trunk, compared to only one in the Asian species.

of south-central Asia. The ears of Indian elephants are significantly
smaller than African elephants.

Elephants are herbivores and eat all types of vegetation such as

grasses, leaves, fruits, and bark. The facts tell that despite the size
of ears the elephant’s hearing is poor, because elephants ears are
used to aid ventilation. One of the softest parts of their body is at
the back of the ears, which is called the knuckle. In a zoo, elephant
trainers, called Mahouts, use their feet to steer or give commands to
the animal via the knuckle at the back of the ears. 

Some other facts about the elephants are : The elephant is the
largest of all land mammals; Life Span - elephants can live for up to
70 years; Elephants normally walk about 4 mph; Elephants are able
to swim for long distances; Elephants spend about 16 hours a day
eating; They consume as much as 495 pounds of food per day; They
live in tight social units led by an older matriarch; Males leave the
herd between the ages of 12 and 15; Their tusks are of ivory and are
