Important things to remember:

  • Old Mr. Rabbit, He's a Good Fisherman
    • Brer Rabbit got in the bucket of a well to take a nap, and fell down in to the bottom of the well in the bucket
    • Brer Fox saw this and assumed it was purposeful, and that Brer Rabbit had money stored down there
    • Brer Fox went over and yelled down to him, and Brer Rabbit told him he was fishing
    • Brer Rabbit convinced Brer Fox to join him, and when he hopped in the opposite bucket, Brer Fox's larger weight pulled Brer Rabbit back up
  • Mr. Rabbit Meets His Match Again
    • Brer Rabbit and Brer Buzzard counted their crops together, and found Brer Buzzard had none
    • They made a plan to raid another gold mine, but things took a turn and Brer Buzzard was going to leave Brer Rabbit behind
    • Brer Rabbit promised that he had another gold mine back home and that he would divide it with Brer Buzzard if he flew him back
  • Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Bear
    • Brer Fox figured someone had been stealing his crops, so set a trap to catch the thief (which he assumed was Brer Rabbit)
    • Brer Rabbit got caught in the trap, when Brer Bear came by
    • He told Brer Bear he was a scarecrow protecting Brer Fox's crops, and Brer Bear said he needed money for his family so he would take the job from Brer Rabbit
    • Brer Bear was suspended in the trap, so Brer Rabbit went to get Brer Fox to frame Brer Bear for his theft
    • Brer Fox believed the trick and beat Brer Bear with a stick until he left

It was his good luck charm, at least he thought so. Another perfect heist, the priceless jewels of the biggest museum in the world, all his... until at the last second his jacket got caught in the safe. The undetectable man, trying to free himself from the restraints he put himself in, was detected. The on-shift security guard came upon him on one of his rounds and began to laugh at the fool caught in the safe. "Oh how silly you look!" mocked the security guard, "you have done my job for me!" "Please!" the burglar pleaded, "If you help free me from these restraints I will split them with you, we will both be rich!" The security guard paused, not expecting such an intrigui
