Now she was angry all over, and something happened. I don't know, and you don't know, but we can guess.
Poor Epaminondas!—SOUTHERN TALE.
[HOW BROTHER RABBIT FOOLED THE WHALE AND THE ELEPHANT]
I
One day Brother Rabbit was running along on the sand, lippety, lippety, lippety. He was going to a fine cabbage field. On the way he saw the whale and the elephant talking together.
Brother Rabbit said, "I'd like to know what they are talking about." So he crouched down behind some bushes and listened.
This is what Brother Rabbit heard the whale say:
"You are the biggest thing on the land, Brother Elephant, and I am the biggest thing in the sea. If we work together, we can rule all the animals in the world. We can have our own way about everything."
