_Cherokee_
One day after the race which they did not run, Rabbit stretched a
large grapevine across the trail, gnawing it nearly in two in the
middle. Then he went back on the trail, took a run, and jumped up at
the vine. He did this again and again. At last Deer came along and
asked him to tell what he was doing.
"Don't you see?" said Rabbit. "I'm so strong I can bite through that
grapevine at one jump."
Deer said, "Do it." Rabbit ran back, made a long leap, and bit through
the vine where he had gnawed it before.
