Indian Jar from the Mounds of Arkansas.
Very early the next morning he went to look at his trap. Behold! Sun had been caught. Rabbit ran home very quickly.
“Oh, Grandmother, I have caught something but it scares me. I wished to take the noose, but it scared me every time I went to get it.”
Then Rabbit took a knife and again went there. The person said, “You have done very wrong. Come and release me.”
Rabbit did not go directly toward him. He went to one side. He bent his head low and cut the cord. At once Sun went above on his trail. But Rabbit had been so near him that Sun burned his fur on the back of his neck.
Rabbit ran home. He cried, “Oh, Grandmother, I have been severely burned.”
