A mother bear was carrying a bag of grass marking her way out of the forest when a horse walked up her and asked: “Hello, sister bear! Where are you going?” “Hello, sister horse! I am looking for someone to look after my children, when I am away from home looking for food.” “What can you offer?” “I have a bag of grass on my back.” “Give it to me, and I will look after your children.” “Can you sing a song to comfort them?” “Yes, I can. Please listen to me. Hes! Hes! Hes!” “Oh! I am sorry: your song is awful. After that the mother bear continued on the way.
Then she met a cow and the cow asked: Hello, sister bear! Where are you going? Hello, sister cow! I am looking for someone to look after my children. What can you offer? The bag of grass on my back. Give it to me, and I will look after your children. Can you sing a song to comfort them? Yes, I can. It is well-known that I sing beautifully. Please listen to me! emmor... ! emmor..! emmor..! That's enough! That's enough! The bear put her fingers in her ears and continued her journey.
The mother bear walked a little further, then she met a rabbit and the rabbit asked: Hello, sister bear! Where are you going? Hello, sister rabbit! I am looking for someone to look after my children. What can you offer? The bag of grass on my back. Give it to me, and I promise to look after your children. Can you look after my children?
Yes, I can. That is ... When you are away, I will console your children, [saying] "please be quiet, kids! Your mom has gone out to find food for you all, and she will be back soon. Don't argue with each other. Please get along well and be united with each other. The one who can do the best will be rewarded with the biggest honey cake. When your mom comes back and sees that you are clever, she will hold, kiss and admire you, saying: My lovely children! You are really clever ...!" After listening to the rabbit, the mother bear happily admired [saying] loudly:
- Such a clever person like you is what I am looking for! The mother b~ took the rabbit home and let the rabbit look after her three children. Then, she went out to find the food feeling confident.
While staying with the bear kids, rabbit said: Let’s go to play outside, kids, I will teach you all how to jump like me. The rabbit led the bear kids to play near the edge of a small stream. She told them: Kids, watch me jump. Then, follow me. One..! Two..! The rabbit jumped over the stream easily. The bear kids opened their eyes very wife and clapped their hands and also admired the rabbit that she could jump so fast.
It is your turn! Here… the first one has to jump first. Be careful! One..! Two..! The one who can jump well will get big honey cake, said the rabbit. The first Bear kid jumped after the rabbit, but he fell into the water in the middle of the Stream. The secondbear kid who was the fattest one jumped and fell into the mud up to his waist. The third bear kid who was the smallest one jumped and fell into the water with his nose just above the surface of the water. Three of them happily played and laughed together i the mud. Let's get out! It is getting dark; we shall go back to the cave now (the rabbit called). The one who comes out first will get the biggest honey cake. Here! Be careful! One! Two! The bear kids competed each other to get onto the land.
Arriving in the cave, the rabbit prepared food for the bear kids and then let them drink the honey in the barrel one by one until they were full. Their fur got sticky and soaked with the honey. Then, the rabbit took them to roll in the kitchen ash. Their sticky fur that touched the ash stood up straight and the three looked like porcupines.
At the same time, the mother of bear arrived, she opened her eyes very wide and asked: Oh! My dear children! Who let you play in the mud? It’s our aunt’s rabbit! (The first bear kid answered) Who took you to have a bath in the honey barrel? It’s our aunt’s rabbit! (The second bear kid answered) Who made you fur look like a porcupine? It’s our aunt’s rabbit! (The third kid answered).
Ah! You bad rabbit! Wait a minute; I will give you a lesson. The mother bear went to take a big stick and was about to hit the rabbit, but the rabbit suddenly escaped into the forest.
