 "En still we er by ourse'fs," exclaimed Uncle Remus, as the little boy ran into his cabin, the night after he had heard the story of how Brother Rabbit scalded Brother Wolf. "We er by ourse'fs en time's a-passin'. Dem ar folks dunner w'at dey er missin'. We er des gittin' ter dat p'int whar we kin2 keep de run er creeturs, en it keeps us dat busy we ain't got time fer ter bolt our vittles skacely.
 
"I done tell you 'bout3 Brer Rabbit makin' 'im a steeple; but I ain't tell you 'bout how Brer Rabbit got ole Brer Wolf out'n er mighty4 bad fix."
 
"No," said the little boy, "you have n't, and that's just what I have come for now."
 
Uncle Remus looked at the rafters, then at the little boy, and finally broke into a loud laugh.
 
"I 'clar' ter goodness," he exclaimed, addressing the imaginary [230]third person to whom he related the most of his grievances5, "I 'clar' ter goodness ef dat ar chile ain't gittin' so dat he's eve'y whit6 ez up-en-spoken ez w'at ole Miss ever bin1. Dat he is!"
 
The old man paused long enough to give the little boy some uneasiness, and then continued:—
 
"Atter ole Brer Wolf git de nat'al hide tuck off'n 'im on de 'count er Brer Rabbit kittle, co'se he hatter go 'way off by hisse'f fer ter let de ha'r grow out. He 'uz gone so long dat Brer Rabbit sorter 'low ter hisse'f dat he 'speck8 he kin come down out'n he steeple, en sorter rack 'roun' mungs de t'er creeturs.
 
"He sorter primp up, Brer Rabbit did, en den9 he start out 'pun he journeys hether en yan.[62] He tuck'n went ter de crossroads, en dar he stop en choose 'im a road. He choose 'im a road, he did, en den he put out des lak he bin sent fer in a hurry.
