Raven Hunts for Rabbits - Original Student Folktales:Raven Hunts for
Rabbits
One day as I was riding around I saw a raven. As I got closer I asked it, "Do you want to come rabbit hunting for a couple of days?" Then the raven replied, "Yes, I would really like to since I haven't gone out rabbit hunting for a while." Not too long after I got ready, he came down to join me. Then we headed for Goose Island which is located upriver on the Yukon. When we got there I set up a tent that was just right for the two of us. After that we went out hunting for rabbits. While we were walking along a trail the raven spotted two rabbits, then chased after one of them as I tried shooting the other one. After getting the two rabbits, we went hunting again. But we couldn't catch anymore so we went back to camp. The next day we saw two rabbits not too far from my boat, so I loaded my gun, aimed at them and shot them. A while later we went hunting for more rabbits. After we caught four of them, we went back to camp where we gutted the rabbits and hung them to dry on a long branch. In the morning we packed everything up and headed back home. When we got home we sure had a lot of skinning to do! Story by: Victor Shorty ![]() | |
