1 why is the rabbit's ear tip black and why is its tail short? 2 in former times there lived a rabbit. 3 this rabbit had quite loads of kiddys. 4 with this kiddys the rabbit lived in a big black house. 5 the rabbit went every day to the forest to look for food. 6 when she left the house, thus the rabbit motion his kiddys: "during the time i am away (actually my away-time), don't open the door for anybody and don't stir!" when she comes back with the food talking with tiny voice to the kiddys, she tell them to open the door: "open the door, open the door my kiddys! it's me, your mum; i brought you sweat food: milk and leaves and even hemp seeds". 7 when she said this, the kiddys immediately open the door. 8 once the wolf heard, how the rabbit tell them to open the door. 9 the next day, when the rabbit went out looking for food, the wolf went to the rabbits house and said with a loud voice: "open the door, open the door my kiddys, it's me, your mum, i brought you sweat food!" 10 the kiddys said [that]: "your voice is loud, our mum's voice is tiny" - and they didn't open the door. 11 after the wolf left, the rabbit itself came back. 12 hearing her tiny voice, the kiddys opened the door and said to their mum : "after you've been gone, somebody was at the door, with a loud voice telling us to open the door ; but we didn't listen to him". 13 "ej my clever kiddys, ej my clever kiddys!" - praised the rabbit her kiddys, - "don't open the door for anybody but me, certainly this is how it should be!" 14 after bed, she went out again looking for food. 15 before she left, she said to her kiddys strongly exhorting: "don't open the door until i arrive ; if you open, the bear comes in, and also the wolf and they will eat you". 16 the wolf heard everything, what the rabbit said. when the rabbit told to open the door, he was hidden behind the door. 17 after the rabbit left, the wolf went to the door, and began to speak with the rabbit's tiny voice: "open the door, open the door my kiddys, it's me, your mum, i brought you sweat food: milk and green leaves and even hemp seeds". 18 "it's a tiny voice: [thus] it's our mum!" - said the little rabbits and opened the door. 19 the wolf went inside and started to eat the running little rabbits. 20 only one little rabbit escaped, [by] jumping out of the black window from the bed shelf. 21 the wolf plucked only its tail; the others he ate (completely). 22 the ears of the escaped little rabbit became sooty, when it jumped out of the little black window. 23 from that time on the rabbit's ear tips are black and his tail is plucked off; that's why it has a short tail.
