Work rating: Low


Once der was a meetin` in de wilderness, All de critters of creation dey was dar; Brer Rabbit, Brer `Possum, Brer Wolf, Brer Fox, King Lion, Mister Terrapin, Mister B`ar. De question fu` discussion was, "Who is de bigges` man?" Dey `pinted ole Jedge Owl to decide; He polished up his spectacles an` put `em on his nose, An` to the question slowly he replied: "Brer Wolf am mighty cunnin`, Brer Fox am mighty sly, Brer Terrapin an` `Possum kinder small; Brer Lion`s mighty vicious, Brer B`ar he`s sorter `spicious, Brer Rabbit, you`s de cutes` of `em all." Dis caused a great confusion `mongst de animals, Ev`y critter claimed dat he had won de prize; Dey `sputed an` dey arg`ed, dey growled an` dey roared, Den putty soon de dus` begin to rise. Brer Rabbit he jes` stood aside an` urged `em on to fight. Brer Lion he mos` tore Brer B`ar in two; W`en dey was all so tiahd dat dey couldn`t catch der bref Brer Rabbit he jes` grabbed de prize an` flew. Brer Wolf am mighty cunnin`, Brer Fox am mighty sly, Brer Terrapin an` Possum kinder small; Brer Lion`s mighty vicious, Brer B`ar he`s sorter `spicious, Brer Rabbit, you`s de cutes` of `em all.
