The Swift Runner

In the olden times, the animals were fond of sports.  They often held contests with prizes for those that won.

One time a prize was offered for the animal who could prove himself the swiftest runner.

The reward was to be a pair of great antlers.  Each animal was to carry the antlers on his head while running the race.   The animal that won would have the antlers for his own.  

A path through the woods was chosen for the race course.  There were many bushes and brambles along the way.  

All the animals gathered at the meeting place.   They chose Black Bear to be judge of the race.  It was decided that the rabbit and the deer alone should try for the prize.  

“They are the best runners.  None of the rest of us could hope to win,” said the other animals.

White rabbit was given the first chance.

“I am willing to try for the prize,” White Rabbit said, “but I would like first to look over the ground where I am to run.”

So White Rabbit disappeared into the woods.  He was gone so long that Red Fox was sent to look for him.  

Red Fox found the rabbit hard at work cutting off twigs to clear a path to run on.

Red Fox went back and told the other animals what White Rabbit was doing.

Pretty soon White Rabbit came out of the woods.  He was all ready to put on the antlers and begin the race for the great prize.
