“Did I not tell you, Grandmother, that I would get fire?” said Hare when he reached home.
“How did you get across the river, Grandson?” asked Grandmother.
“Oh, I just jumped across,” said Hare indifferently.
RABBIT AND FROG
Eastern Eskimo
One day Rabbit wandered over the hillside, and came near an Indian wigwam. Now Rabbit was very timid. He crept close to the lodge and peered through a small hole. There was Frog, sitting near the fire.
“Brother,” said Rabbit, “what are you doing?”
“I am playing with the ashes,” said Frog.
“Come live with me,” said Rabbit.
Frog said, “I have a lame leg. That is why I am sitting here while my brothers are out hunting.”
