Once upon a time rabbit used to steal nuts. He angered the people 
from whom he stole them. 
“What shall we do to him?” they asked. 
“Let us set a snare for him.”. 
They set some gum for him. Then when Rabbit ran there, he got 
stuck in the gum. 
Then those people, “What shall we do with him?” 
“Shall we throw him into a well or into the brambles?” 
“Let us ask him where we are to throw him. Whichever he fears, 
there we shall throw him.” 
Then they fetched Rabbit and questioned him. 
“Where shall we throw you, into a well or into the brambles?” 
Then Rabbit, “I am afraid of the brambles.” 
“There we shall throw him,” they said. 
They took hold of Rabbit; they threw him into the brambles. He 
was glad of that. 
“Into my own playground!” 
He ran along. 
“Very kind of you to throw me here!” said Rabbit. 
And so I have finished one sacred story.
