“Dey all ax ’im en git de same ans’er, en den Brer Coon put

“‘W’at make you fool me, Brer Rabbit?’ 
“‘How I fool you, Brer Coon?’ 
“‘You make lak dey wuz a big racket, Brer Rabbit.’

“Brother Rabbit had the best of it all along,” said the little 
boy, after waiting to see whether there was a sequel to the story. 
“Oh, he did dat a-way!” exclaimed Uncle Remus. “Brer Rab¬ 
bit was a mighty man in dem days.”
