More Brer Rabbit
My favorite story of this unit was Mr. Fox is Again Victimized. Brer Rabbit is back at his schemes of trickery, and this time he tricks both Brer Fox and Brer Buzzard. This time, the story begins with Brer Rabbit riding Brer Fox like a horse. Brer Fox tries his hardest to buck Brer Rabbit off, but he is unable to. After giving it his best shot, he is exhausted. He tries rolling over to get Brer Rabbit off, and once Brer Rabbit is off his back, he runs into a hollow tree to head from Brer Fox. Completely tired from wrestling Brer Rabbit off his back, he lies lifeless looking on the ground when Brer Buzzard arrives. Brer Fox asks him to keep an eye on Brer Rabbit so he can go fetch an axe. Of course, this was a bad idea because Brer Rabbit found a way to distract Brer Buzzard. He tricks Brer Buzzard into coming around to the other side of the tree because he tells him there is a gray squirrel in the tree he should catch. When he comes to the other side of the tree, Brer Rabbit is able to make a run for it, escaping the grips of Brer Fox again.
