“Listen to me, you rascal!” cried Brother Rabbit. “If you don’t let me go, I’ll kick you!”
The tar baby said nothing.
Bim! Brother Rabbit’s right foot stuck fast.
“See here, you imp!” he shrieked. “If I kick you with my left foot, you’ll think the world has come to an end!”
The tar baby said nothing.
Bom! the left foot stuck fast.
“Look out, now!” Brother Rabbit screamed. “Let me loose, or I’ll butt you into the well with my head! Let me go, I say!”
The tar baby said nothing.
Buff! Brother Rabbit’s head stuck fast.
And there was Brother Rabbit with both hands, and both feet, and his head stuck fast.
