EP 161: Louisiana- Brother Bear and Brother Rabbit (Alcée Fortier 1895)

Brother Bear just want some help with his work, so he invites brother Hyena (Bouki) and Brother Rabbit. Well, you know having Brother Rabbit around is going to make for some trouble, so Brother Rabbit makes up a whole plan to eat all of the food. When he is caught, more hijinks ensue. And in the second story, a drunk man thinks he can communicate with the frogs.
