Arrange These Paragraph in Order!The Bear and The Rabbit

Once upon a time, there lived a bear and a rabbit.

The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is

always clumsy and could not use the arrow.

However the bear did not want the rabbit to

get any of the meat. The rabbit could not

even taste the meat. The poor rabbit would

have to go home hungry after his hard day's

work.

The bear was the father of five children.

Fortunately, the youngest child was very

kind to the rabbit. The mother bear always

gave

him an extra large piece of meat but the

youngest child did not eat it. He kicked the

meat toward the rabbit's house. In this way,

the poor rabbit would get his meal.

He went with the bear and shot enough

buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed

he shot and killed so many that there were

lots of meats left.

One day, the bear called over the

rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his

bow and arrows.
