Brer Rabbit and the Blackberry Bush

Usborne First Reading Level 2

Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox are always up to mischief. Now Brer Fox thinks he has the perfect plan to stop Brer Rabbit once and for all.

In this story, Brer Fox captures Brer Fox in a trap and he plans to eat him. But when he is trapped Brer Rabbit says: "Hurray!"

"Do you want to be eaten?" asked Brer Fox.

"Oh, yes," said Brer Rabbit. "Fry me…boil me…eat me in a pie!"

This confuses Brer Fox, and Brer Rabbit finally gets away.
