ABSTRACT

The lion and the bear and the wolf and the fox and the giraffe and the monkey and elephant, and even the rabbit—everybody who lived in the forest was there, and they all tried to think of some plan by which they could get water. Once upon a time there was a water famine, and the runs went dry and the creeks went dry and the rivers went dry, and there wasn’t any water to be found anywhere, so all the animals in the forest met together to see what could be done about it. Then the rabbit kicked him with his left foot, and his left foot stuck tight in the tar. A man went out one day to shoot something for dinner, and as he was going along, he heard a sound in the air above him and looking up saw a great flock of geese, and they were all singing.
