The Rabbit and the Crocodile

Abstract

This is one of the few etiological tales in this collection. The rabbit bests the crocodile several times over and is finally caught but declares inside the crocodile's mouth Now, he eats me! He is very happy and laughs a lot! So the crocodile laughs, and the rabbit runs out of his mouth, taking the crocodile's tongue with him! Since that day, The Crocodile has no tongue (sic).
