Brer Rabbit
The story Old Mr. Rabbit, He's a Good Fisherman was probably my favorite. It is interesting the way these stories are told because the stories are told in dialect. Also, these stories are told from an Uncle Remus to his nephew. In this particular story, the rabbit, fox, coon, and boar are working on their garden, and the rabbit gets tired. He tells his friends he got something in his hand and was going to try to get it out. Instead, he found a well with a bucket and thought that would be a nice place to take a nap. When he got in the bucket, it fell to the bottom of the well. The fox happened to sneak off to keep on eye on the rabbit. The rabbit was afraid and was able to trick the fox into jumping into the other bucket by telling him he was fishing down in the well. When the fox jumped in the other bucket, it caused the rabbit's bucket to lift, so he could get out of the well. Eventually the fox gets out and they get back to work on the garden, although the rabbit still picks on the fox about it.
