Important things to remember:

    • 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

    • 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

Introduction to the Eyeball Guy

  Hi there! I'm Clay Buchanan and I am a senior (kind of I am going to take an extra semester...) at OU!

Moah respected the farmer, still following the guidelines that were set in the beginning. One day, the farmer pulled Moah out of the boundaries of the farm to tell him he was going to start the population over, in hopes the next to come would be more respectful to his wishes. Moah understood, as he had seen the changes in the actions of his species. However, the farmer told Moah he had found fav...
