Brother Rabbit and Brother Terrapin wanted to run round a tree. <br />They went to Brother Bear and asked him to be the referee. <br />He said to Brother Terrapin, “You win if you’re the first to take the stone! ” <br />Brother Rabbit ran and won as Brother Terrapin could only go, <br />He cried, “Brother Rabbit has run, but has he really won? <br />Look here, my stone’s on me, so I’m number one! ” <br /> <br />When Brother Fox and Brother Rabbit meet, <br />Brother Fox always tries to eat <br />Brother Rabbit who often thinks how <br />To laugh at Brother Fox. Now <br />Brother Rabbit said, “Have we met, Brother? Hi! ” <br />“Oh! I haven’t had lunch”, Brother Fox replied. <br />“But when we yesterday met, <br />You also said that. <br />Poor Brother Fox had no lunch, <br />Then have for it grass or a branch”. <br /> <br />Brother Rabbit’s taught Brother Wolf a lesson. <br />He’s done it to amuse his little son. <br />Now, Brother Wolf’s in a cage. <br />Nothing he can change. <br />Yesterday he ate meat in a trap, <br />And Brother Rabbit didn’t let <br />Him run out, he locked him then, <br />He taught him and needn’t teach again.<br /><br />Konstantin Ananin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/about-brother-rabbit/
