Manštin, the Rabbit by Zitkála-Šá — Read

Manštin was an adventurous brave, but very kindhearted. Stamping a moccasined foot as he drew on his buckskin leggins, he said: "Grandmother, beware of Iktomi! Do not let him lure you into some cunning trap. I am going to the North country on a long hunt."

With these words of caution to the bent old rabbit grandmother with whom he had lived since he was a tiny babe, Manštin started off toward the north. He was scarce over the great high hills when he heard the shrieking of a human child.
