Chapter IV
Mr. Rabbit closed his eyes as if reflecting, and patted the ground softly with his foot. "Well, well! I remember just as well as if it were yesterday the day I told Brother Lion that if he wasn't careful, Mr. Man would catch him and put him in a cage for his children to look at. But he just hooted at it--and now, sure enough, there he is! I mind the first time he began his pursuit of Mr. Man.
